Try eating organic exclusively for a couple weeks. You will notice the difference. It’s not something that’s apparent when you only nibble here and there! :~)

OK, if you pay for it.

All plants use nitrogen to grow. There is no difference if that form of plant food comes from time released nitrogen nodules (man-made) or from manure. (cow-shit & straw)

The end result is the same. Except that the plant does much better, longer, on the man-made stuff because the time release nodules distribute the plant nutrition more evenly over a longer period. The plant will only use what it needs.

Nitrogen is nitrogen. PERIOD. It is not “man-made”. It is merely a stigma that somehow, because technology has developed a better method for producing more food for more people on less ground, that it is somehow “unnatural” and evil and therefore is BAD for humans to eat it.

If this were the case, then why has the average age of people increased from 35 to over 80 since modern agricultural methods were developed? And, why do countries who still use those old methods still suffer a very short life from all sorts of diseases or starvation?

As far as eating potatoes claimed to be “organic” and those by regular means, that supposedly have less taste, I will gladly bet you the title to my home that I can grow a potato that will not only be twice the size of your Kosher organic, but will win an award at any contest for taste. And I use those deadly triple 19 commercial fertilizers and have for over 30 years.

The organically grown division of those contests have to have their own category because it would not be fair. they would not even make it past the contest elimination phase.
