The only difference between organic food and "regular" food is that organic foods are grown without the use of certain chemical fertilizers, insecticides, hormones, etc.

People who favor organic foods want to avoid eating these chemicals and hormones and also want to reduce the environmental impact of commercial farming practices.

Organic foods do not have more vitamins and minerals.
However, for processed foods, like soups, rice mixes, cereals, crackers etc, the organic products tend to focus more on wholesome, natural nutrition. Sometimes they may be more nutritious than their non-organic counterparts, but that's not because the ingredients are organic. It is because they've prioritized nutrition and are willing to spend more money on it (and pass that cost on to the consumer).

well organic food hasnt been sprayyed with any bug-killing sprays and hasnt been processed or geneticly modified or other things like that so i think theyre ment to be better for you

organic is supposedly grown without harsh pestisides.

The only difference is that certified organic food is grown as naturally as possible, that is, without chemicals. Naturally this is hard to do as chemicals are just about everywhere in the air and water and soil.

As for having more goodness - well, that is hard to say. What you can say it certified organic is less likely to harm you chemicals than regular ol food.

organic is grown with no insecticide, pesticide, or commercial fertilizer.

the differences are, the chemicals and the prices. one day everything will be organic. its no more dangerous than walking outside and getting shot. whats your chances? they say ya gotta eat a ton of dirt b4 you die anyways. so eat it as you will. lol
