Answers: I am a vegan and have been eating organic food for about 2 years now and I was just curious to see who actually agrees with the organic promise or thinks its just a bunch of bs?

I think "organic" foods were once better than they are now. As soon as the "megacorporations" realized there's money to be made in organic food, they have devalued the label, turning it into more of a marketing ploy than the actual health value it represents. Do foods grown with the original definition of organic methods have more "good stuff" and less "bad stuff"? Yes, and I believe they taste so much better as well! Is the organic label on a product worth everything it claims? Sadly, I don't think it is anymore. I still think it's better than the alternative, though.
i think the organic thing is overblown, and humans have been genicaly engineering food since they started farming, but i do buy it occasionally. You probably eat GMO's that humans created 1000 years ago -- such as grapefruit.
I don't think there is NO benefit to organic, i just think ppl go nuts blaming it for everything because they *feel* its' true without science to back it up. Like some woman's kid got alergic to eggs, and suddenly she goes on a crusade against all artificial additives in all food. She didn't care until it was *her* kid, and suddenly, she *knows* it's the food. right.
But i'm a firm believer in treating an animal well before killing it. I try to buy cage-free eggs because i have a pet bird. it is 100% natural for a bird that hadn't seen another bird in years to lay eggs, mine did! But let the thing walk around and socialize (at least with other birds), not lie on the ground without moving pumped up full of hormones laying eggs it's whole life! It's sick how egg-chickens can't even scratch their own heads! I can't imagine my own bird in a cage so small she can't even lift up a leg to scratch her head. Cage free eggs please!
And I think *you* should eat cage-free eggs too -- would be better for animal welfare and your health to support makers of cage-free eggs. those chickens get to perch, scratch their heads, and make friends with other chickens, and might be better off than my own pet bird, who is a happy bird (i know cuz she grinds her beak, this means she is happy), but she only gets to make friends with humans. She laid eggs. Is natural, and a happy bird can lay organic eggs just fine, and there is nothing wrong with a human eating them. (i didn't eat my bird's eggs of course, but many ppl have pet chickens for their eggs).
I try to look for organic meat because they are less likely to tortrue their animals too. "organic" does not mean the animal got to move around in it's life, but at least they didn't inject the thing full of sterroids so much that it *can't* move even if it was placed in a pasture.
I am not a vegetarian, but i end up eating a lot of vegetarian food because i try not to eat the animals in the restaurants, etc, unless i'm sure they were treated well, in which case i make sure *to* eat them. I think it's healthy not to eat meat every day -- humans are meant to eat meat but not with with single meal, 3 times a day! better to be a vegetarian than to eat meat 3 times a day every single day! but i am against "vegan".
I don't eat junk food like Doritos. that is just processed corn sprinkled with MSG. yes, the "cheeze" flavor in doritos is pure MSG. I don't eat Ramen soup, which is just flour dunked in MSG. I will eat subway (veggies only on whole wheat bread) and i *don't* care that it's not organic.
when i buy food, i do look at organic ones first, But if the "organic" green bell pepper costs to much or looks wilted, i will by the regular green bell pepper, because a fresh one is healthier, even if it has 5 or 6 pesticide molecules stuck in it!
