Truthfully, there are more sprays that are applied on so-called organic produce than on conventionally grown produce. The products labeled for application on organic fruit fill a booklet that is at least 35 single-spaced pages.
So the idea that there are less chemicals applied to organically grown produce is a fallacy. It is just that the chemicals that are applied are approved by whatever government agency that controls that area of agriculture.
Finally, most growers go into organic growing because of capitalism. That is, they perceive that their profits will be greater than if they were conventional growers.
But, as far as there being more or better nutrition in organic produce than conventionally grown produce, that argument is specious. Studies have proved otherwise.
One can read the convoluted rules from the USA government here:
But even after seeing how complex the laws actually are, one can see that LESS CRAP is on the organic crops that the nonorganic. It’s not a question of perfect.
Also, there are individual farms that are truly concerned about healthy produce or animals and you can visit them and see how they don’t just try to loophole their way around USDA laws; they go farther than the laws to grow and raise food tht is as natural and healthy as they can.
It makes a huge difference.
To me, it’s like have two bowls of strawberries before you and your hostess sprinkles round up over one bowl. Which one do you wish to sample from? Even if the hostess says you can have MORE from the round up bowl (cheaper price)? Even when you know Round Up causes Alzheimer’s?
