What is your opinion on organic food?!
Answers: I am doing some research on organic foods and I would like some pubilc opinion with this, thanks.
Hi Julio
You might find this recent USA survey of 2,000 people interesting:
To the question, “Is organic food worth the money?”, 36% agreed that “Organic food is much better for you and, even though it usually costs more, the extra expense is worth it to have better food.”
Interestingly, only 29% felt that “Organic food is a waste of money as it is no better for you than conventional foods available in the supermarkets.”

Personally, I've been a fan of organic since a health crisis in 2003 that put me in hospital and threatened my future. I went to a health course and was told the basis of health is good nutrition and getting rid of toxins. This seemed like good common sense and I concluded from this that a good place to start was with organic produce.
Naturally, organic food is lower in toxins because of the lack of pesticides, insecticides, hormones, antibiotics etc and there is growing evidence to support organic food being more nutritious too.

not as good as you think, they can sell it for more money because people think they are better for you. then don't use insecticides which is good but they do use manure which is very bad,and bugs can crawl on them and leave droppings that you cant even see.
As a general preference, I choose organic food. Having been raised by hippies and a vegetarian until age 8, living on a commune and the like....for me organic food just plain tastes better.
Fruits and veggies don't have that gross film to them, they are either delicious, or not....not being forced to be good. It's an odd thing to say I know, but if you ever try organic food in a blind taste test you will know what I mean.
For the most part it is a taste preference for me. However in recent years my health also requires me to seek out more organic foods. They have way less toxins, and the loss of preservatives cuts down on possible allergens as well.
