A bit of logic to ponder, are you more likely to get bacterial contamination from food grown with artificial fertilizers (ammonium nitrate, phosphates etc.) or those fertilized with animal feces? Also consider that the plant does not give a damn where the nitrates come from, be it artificial or natural. When you buy organic vegetables you are being scammed financially.
I would note that no organic foods have had a great many recalls for dangerous things on a regular basis.
I always look for “poisoned” produce when I shop.
A lot cheaper and safer.
I hate to be the designated contrarian but here goes . We raised our kids , grandkids , and now the great grandkids on a natural organic diet . Back about 1972 our youngest child started having troubles at school . They did not know much about dyslexia back then but she was severely dyslexic . Reading a scientific research article on the International Organic Farmers magazine I received each month a prominent natural scientist had been studying dyslexia and natural versus man made [chemical] vitamins and minerals . We had been giving our kids a national brand of vitamins that were man made . This researcher said that the only difference he found between man made vitamins and those natural vitamins as found in nature was that if you put them in a solution and passed a beam of light through them the man made vitamins were refracted out through the left and the natural were refracted out to the right . He surmised that this may be what was causing the increasing incidence of dyslexia . We immediately changed the kids vitamin regimen to all natural organically sourced vitamins and probably a year later the kiddo was seeing and reading normally . Good thing about America is we can eat what we want and choose to inject or not inject an mrna clot shot and those of you that like such things can spend your money otherwise . Merica! We are both 72 and still farm , garden , and eat organically . We take NO medicines other than natural plant based herbals and do not have a physician . We also base our health and medical processes on the Bible . There is a wealth of information in the Bible about eating , drinking , medicine , and even baking your own bread .
I buy mostly organic produce because it actually tastes like what it’s supposed to.
I grow my own and they are organic and I had a great harvest.
But I was able to manually do insect control by going out a couple times a week with a bucket of soapy water and knocking the bugs into it.
And people actually take that garbage into their bodies.
The higher price tells you "organic" consumes more resources and results in more pollution. Price is usually the only honest measure available of total energy use and waste output.
Nature can only support about 2% of the current human population. Without man-made farming methods, most Demonrats would die.
Remember, *all* food is poison is sufficient quantity. Rather than just choose "organic", choose small quantities of a large variety of food sources. Never eat large quantities of only one thing. The human body is great at handling environmental poisons, not so great at handling man-made concentrations.

My wife of 51 years insists on organic. I comply. I’m not a stupid man.
