Besides that, many avoid high fructose corn syrup. You're more likely to get fruits and vegetables that are fully ripened on the vine. It's easier to find breads that are whole grain or rye with nothing unnecessary added. The meats and dairy aren't anti-biotic or growth hormone laden.
That's why I wouldn't think this study applies to the US. "organic" might be less of a difference in countries that have all of these restrictions to protect the food supply.
Love crab rangoon after some cool down time and sweet sour chicken. Most other Chinese food never did much for me.
Pizza is always better with settling time.
If the ‘organic’ produce is picked by Mexicans; you’re probably still eating ‘poop’...
no I do custody battles, wish I had a job at some big corporation though, no my issue is having been raised by old hippies and coming of age in the 70s, I have been through this Age of Aquarius stuff before and it does not impress
I seem to remember 2 major groups from my college chemistry classes; Organic and inorganic.
I won’t eat organic crap!!
I don’t know if GMO will give me cancer or not, but I do know that my digestive system is fine with non-GMO tomatoes and gives me several days of intestinal distress with GMO. As for the lack of pesticides and eating the occasional bug that come gratis with organic, I’ll take my chances with organic.
We live next door to a 1200 head dairy. Tons to manure to deal with. I’ll give you three guesses what we fertilize our garden and hay pastures with and the first two guesses don’t count.
Best fertilizer there is.
My understanding is that it last longer because of a different pasteurization method, but I can’t remember the details. I buy organic milk, also.
I really hate to be the bearer of bad news for you, but chemicals or no chemicals you still get bugs and you still get poop on anything you grow.
I bough some fresh rosemary....

Consider growing your own. It’s not difficult, and it is so satisfying. And so much cheaper.
PS: Care to share the recipe for that bread?
Exactly! Why do foods look good and not as if they have worm/bug/ holes? Because of the use of pesticides to keep the worms, bugs, and birds off them. Wash your fruit and veggies. It removes the pesticides -— and the dew and rains wash most of it off before it comes to market, anyway. It is ridiculous!

yeah, well when I buy organic I have meal moths in my cabinets
Getting rid of the organic makes a huge difference
I do have the exterminator out though
Don’t like bugs and daughter hates them
As for poop, it is all over, true. Squirrels, rabbits, foxes, deer, turkeys, racoons, dogs, cats, birds.........
If it was picked by migrant field hands, the fecal matter is pretty much guaranteed in organic or in non-organic produce.
“Roundup-soaked vegetables”
I don’t think you know what that word means.
true, some of the most off the wall people I have known were obsessed with food
I ask for the inorganic vegetables..
