The true benifits to organic?!

I don't think there's much difference between organic and non-organic foods!. I try to buy organic because I think that supports our local farmers who do grow organic foods, but I have no problems with eating non-organic foods!. There are benefits and drawbacks to both (which you can find if you do a search online)!. My dad (a horticulturist) told me that sometimes the lack of pesticides cause the organic plants to produce their own defenses (natural toxins) against insects and other plants, which are harmful to humans!.

I'm less concerned about organic vs!. nonorganic than I am concerned about Genetically Modified foods!. I'd suggest researching that some more, too!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Better for my health, that's why I go organic!. also certain things taste a heck of a lot better!. It's kind of a "hot" word right now so you have to watch out for marketing!. I admit some stuff doesn't taste as good as the sodium and sugar filled alternatives, but I don't think it's good (or natural) for the body to consume high levels of yellow dye #5, high fructose corn syrup or pesticides!.

Even better, go local organic which will support local farmers and leave a smaller foot print on the environment, i!.e!. pollution from trucks shipping food across the country!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

My family are farmers and we are against organic because there is nothing better in it so people are just waisting their money!. Plus if everyone ate organic there would be millions more starving people because there wouldnt be enough food because when farmers grow organic they dont grow as much!.
