Answers:
Organic foods are not proven to be better for your body and it's not feasible to produce enough organic food to sustain western countries!. Unless everyone started producing their own food!.

Conventional, there have been no nutritional differences scientifically proven between organic vs!. conventional!. Conventional are also cheaper, easily farmed for large scale production, and are currently incorperated in many food products!.
EDIT: Floppity, actually it is only 3 years, from switching from conventional to organic, a farmer must abstain from pesticide use, most fertilizers and is unable to sell their product as organic for 3 years after the next crop seasons!.
EX: Year 1: No chemicals and other non-organic conditions!. Cannot be labled as organic
Year 2, Year 3, same as above!.
Year 4: If the following conditions have been met, then the crops may be sold as organic!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I don't believe there is any such thing as organic!. To have your fields declared 'organic' you must not spray them for fifteen years, and only use a certain amount of chemicals - not 'no chemicals'!. But your neighbours may spray as much as they please and that will inevitably fall on your crops!. also, there isn't a single dock in the world that doesn't spray everything that comes in to prevent bugs from ruining their ecosystem!. To get organic foods you'd have to grow it yourself (far away from any fields, or any roads, or any water sources that could be contaminated)!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
People who say that non organic foods have the same nutritional value are missing what to me is the important point: organically grown food is better for the planet!. It's also better for the people who are employed to pick it!. If picking vegetables in a third world country was the only work you could get, and your children had to do the same work, would you want to work in an organic field, or one that got sprayed with pesticides!? And what would you want for your children!?

The obvious choice would be organic!. Although another contributor suggests that organic foods are not any healthier then non-organic foods, I believe the less chemicals you put in your body then the better overall health you will have!. The only problem with organic is the higher prices!. That more or less forces us to buy the cheaper, chemically enriched foods that may have damaging effects later!.
We are the case study for processed foods!. For the last 20 yrs we've transitioned to eating more processed foods!. Now we have unparalleled increase in ADHD, Diabetes 2, obesity and so on!. Coincidence!? We'll see how this continues to affect our health as time goes by!.

If I can afford it I go organic!.!.if money is tight I buy only all root vegetables organic and the milk and eggs!.
Organic is not only about chemicals, its about welfare of the animals as well so they taste better!.
With vegetables!.!. they honestly don't taste that much different but I would like to control what goes in my body indirect!. And GM food, chemical treated food and the destroying of the natural soil is something which is not necessary!.
And yes, we in the Western world can all go organic!.!. Www@FoodAQ@Com
