“Claims that organic food tastes better or is more nutritious are not supported by evidence and certainly don’t justify the far higher prices.”
The Organic food is non-bio-engineered food that’s been protected from contact with GMO from farm to table. That, you can count on. It’s the law.

So where are this dude’s sources?
Good info .
As someone with a ag background I know there is a huge amount of misinformation out there about modern agriculture from the greenies.
I eat one banana a day.
I was skeptical about organic food until I mistakenly purchased organic grown bananas. I immediately knew the taste was superior. It reminded me of eating bananas as a child 60 years ago. At least for banana’s I’m willing to pay extra.
“The #1 irrigated crop in the US is lawn grass, using over 10 trillion gallons of water per year.”
Do they think water is “used up” by watering lawns? Thoughts like that make them feel altruistic when it should make them feel stupid.
Science has largely been replaced by Political Science.
Today, “Science” means — “I want to manipulate you to behave a certain way, because social control of others is my religion.”
If it's wrong to eat genetically modified foods, but it's right to force people to take experimental gene modifying jabs ... you might be a Democrat. LOL
:shrug: As best I can tell, all of the food that I consume is organic. Well, maybe not salt. Salt is inorganic.
If they did not, they would be eaten by pests.
Plants that have been bred to have less natural pesticides so they are less toxic to humans have to be grown under controlled condition or treated with human created pesticides so they will be able to grow to maturity.
We had the population of honey bees fall drastically a few years ago due to the mites, not pesticides. And immediately the native bees (smaller with black/white bands) came back and were happily pollinating away. Gardens and farms were just fine.
You’d be hard pressed to find food that hasn’t been GMOed in some fashion. All corn is GMO. Have you ever seen natural corn? It looks nothing like the yellow stuff in the store. How about watermelons? Most are bred (GMOed) to be seedless. And also taste worse.
