Organic food is food grown without modern pesticides. Like the DDT fiasco, this attempt to eliminate the synthetic chemicals in the process simply allows natural parasites and bacteria to flourish in their absence. So when you buy ‘organic’, you are buying food that carries a significantly higher risk of making you sick, in some potentially serious ways.
oh, I have never heard of organic food making anyone sick. I assume if it did it would be all over the news?
but yeah i agree the normal grocery stores can be healthy too if you watch what you buy. however i still am drawn in by the concept of organic foods; i think, as a nation, we went overboard with overly processing our food (pop tarts for example) and shopping in an organic section makes it easier to avoid highly processed foods.
