The word organic is declared vastly overused

It feels like everywhere you turn these days, the word 'organic' pops up. I think that the tipping point for me was when the Batter Blaster turned up this fall as an organic product (I guess to convince consumers that it's slightly redemptive despite the fact that it ejects pancake batter out of a spray can).

I guess I'm not the only one who feels like it's getting a little bit abused these days, because it is one of 19 words or phrases on Lake Superior State University's annual List of Words Banished from the Queen's English for Mis-Use, Over-Use and General Uselessness.
