Organic foods

I don't think there is anything magical about them. If they are actually tastier I'll eat them. Sometimes they are, sometimes they aren't. If they suck and also cost more then I stay away.
 
On the occasion when I know a certain organic product is better tasting, I'll buy it. But most of the time, I don't see the point. Like a street vendor at 2100S 1300E sells these "local organic" white peaches that are to die for. I buy them every chance I get. But I live next to a Sprouts, and I can't really tell the difference between most of their organic and non-organic food. They sometimes have these tiny organic tomatoes that I love, but most of the time it doesn't make a difference.
 
Maybe I should've specified, do you eat them for health reasons and health reasons alone? Or do you think that's all a bunch of nonsense?

hard to say how 'safe' chemical pesticides and fertilizers used in agriculture are (along with how accurate methods of testing for them are) when we have the example of DuPont in the other thread, and how they've managed to deceive a nation for decades.

Organic food farmers are business people too. Only safe option is to stop eating.
 
I'd love to grow a bunch of my own stuff eventually. That's real power right there. It's all about holding nutritional value.
