When Should You Buy Organic?

the way producers of organic foods translate the regulation of the guidelnes to organic production often mirror that of commercially produced product .....buyer be ware!!!

I would pay a little more for food if it was grown here in the U S, is it just me or can anyone else taste the difference when it from a different country and buy far its not cheap either.

oh,nice pic , i have heard that a saying goes in China like this "Only one himself knows if the shoes match his feet or not “。If u really love her /him ,nothing matters, let alone the age .i met my BF via~~--Ａge'date . ℃○M .~~ a nice place for younger women and oldermen, or older women and younger men, to interact with each other! , he is almost 12 older than me ,but we think we did find the true love .BTW,Ever feel that you would best enjoy someone who is not in your age group? Free of the embarrassment and annoyance, go for what makes you really happy.If u are really interested in it, maybe u wanna check it out or tell your friends

If you are lazy or don't have a sink to wash vegetables then you should buy organic.

I'm waiting for an inorganic alterntive.

It is not only pesticides in our food , if it is genetically modified or not is what I want to know . The mentionend Bananas have FROG GENES in them ( other fruits too ) I wonder who would buy GMO fruit , or other food if they have to tell you !!!! The Bush administration changed the law and the supreme court with former Monsanto lawer Clayton Thomas decided for you !!!! that GMO food is normal food and does not have to labeled as genetically altered . So much for more freedom and less Goverment > The USA customer is the least informed consumer in the world . 99% of Soy beans , 89% of corn , Salmon , Jumbo Shrimps , and Lobster all GMOed . That is where Organic matters !!!

That's a bunch of baloney. I shouldn't buy organic broccoli because it hasn't been exposed to AS MANY pesticides as other conventionally grown produce? But it still CONTAINS pesticides! So what's the point? Aside from that, organic produce usually contains more nutrients, and our SAD diet is pretty devoid of nutrients these days. Grain, gruits, and vegetables have lost anywhere from 30%-50% of their vitamins and minerals since the last 50 years (according to a study), and you can boost your intake by eating organic.

Q - why all the mexican produce in USA? what the heck happened to the good ole American farmer? Jobs Act 2012 - block mexican produce and spark more jobs in America.

I imagine the pesticides also go into the water and so are absorbed by those thick-skinned fruits

Wrong, Nadine. We admire your desire to help us save a buck or two, but do a little homework and it becomes clear that organic goes way beyond the bug sprays. Organic produce is fertilized with natural fertilizers that give it much higher nutrition and much better flavor. Conventional produce is fertilized with wacky chemicals that trick the tree or plant into growing like crazy and "producing" the stuff we buy; it looks like the real thing but it really isn't... it's a chemistry experiment. Do this. Buy a piece of produce that is USDA certified organic, and buy a visually identical one that is not. Do a taste test. The difference is huge. The conventional one tastes like cardboard compared to the certified organic one. And your body's response to the nutrients in the organic one also will be better, because it is real food, not the product of weird science.
