“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.

That’s the reason I go for Organic food or anything non-GMO.

One interesting thing that I have noticed shopping at Kroger, which I have to shop that because the only other thing in my town is Super Walmart, the next closest town being 25 miles away and the primary grocery chain there is Kroger.

Anyway Kroger has a house brand called Simple Truth which is supposed to be more or less organic. What I’ve noticed is that while I don’t care about the organic aspect, quality of the product is a little bit better. So if the simple truth brand is the same or almost the same price as competitive brand for that product I buy it.

People who believe that organic food consumers are rabid leftists are sadly mistaken.

Indeed, a hallmark of Deplorables is a preference for subsidiarity whereby local trumps global (pun intended). I've found that my local farmer, local food stands, etc vastly outdo the ConAgra/ADM industrial complex.

Do I pay more? Yes. Does it taste better? After years of "going natural" I can DEFINIETLY taste the difference in meats and milk. Is it better for me? I haven't dropped dead (yet). I haven't yet planted my victory garden (last time I did it was more like the bay of pigs) but Diana's threads are the way to learn.

Sure, at Whole Foods you'll definitely find masked Karen's and Fauci fans. But if you talk to the employees you'll find a bigly number of libertarians and people who think masks etc are BS. And independent grocers carry organic and gluten-free products nowadays. But you gotta do your homework on which brands are suspect.

Thus, anytime I see some anti-organic article, I suspect the writer is confused as to just who is the Enemy.

What is the difference between a genetically modified vegetable and a hybrid vegetable?
