Simply put; is organic food worth paying extra for?

Im not going to talk about the dangers of pesticides and herbicides and their dangers. However, from a taste standpoint, it depends on what you are eating. Organic fruits and vegetables have very little taste difference than your conventional products. Organic meat has a significant taste advantage over conventional meat. With organic chicken you can actually taste the chicken and not the 5-10% water by weight they added to it. Pork, beef, and lamb all taste better when they are organic. Dairy products also taste much better. Find a quality organic butter and taste it compared to conventional butter. You wont ever want to use conventional butter again in your life. Eggs also taste better and are more nutritious. I would think that is because the chickens are allowed to lay their eggs naturally, 1 per day, rather than unnaturally by being tricked into laying many eggs per day by having the lights turned off and on every couple hours.

The question is how organic is "organic"? It isn't enough to label any food as "organic" & charge extra for it for the unaware consumer to flush thier hard earned money down the drain.

If it is guarateed beyond reasonable doubts that such food has not come into any form of contact with any chemicals from cultivation - distribution, then I should think it's worth paying for. I am not convinced that any of such foods pass this test.

Absolutely.

-unless you're happy with eating a non organic lettuce which is sprayed,on average 17 times during its growth span or chickens which have a huge water content and have been reared in appalling conditions.

Organic foods must be far healthier unless you are happy to ingest artificial colourings and preservatives into your system.

Whilst they are more expensive,the good news is that the price differential is narrowing as demand grows and producers earn more through economies of scale.

And without exception,organic food tastes better every time

I wonder if this so called organic food has been always produced in the way they say at the selling point I would only trust the stuff if I actually seen it growing and harvested. and were shown what was used to help it grow. No it is not.

Organic food is way more healthy. Depending on how healthy you want to be and how much you want to spend on eating better, Organic food is better for you body. I would encourage you to get organic food.

it is more expensive and time consuming to go to doctors and buy pills and spend time in the hospital and shoot insulin needles. ECT. in your old age do you want to be a walker or use a walker.. remember what you eat today becomes your cells tomorrow. do you want pestasides and hormones in your body. that dont belong there ? my dad eats organic food he is 76 and takes no medicine he is in perfect health and rides his bicycle every day he is 100% healthy and happy. ....What do you think ?
