I’ve always thought the whole organic thing was a scam and an excuse to charge higher prices on food

Yup. My opinion only - there's a lot more organic food sold, than grown.

Fad diets are just that - fads. Unless there's something specific - like a gluten allergy, for instance - "gluten free" this and "organic" that are generally just ways to separate people from their money.

Moderation in all things is the key. That's all. But I suppose that "Eat three more-or-less well-balanced meals, don't overdo it, and be sure to exercise" won't sell very well.

Truth about organic food grown in the USA:

It ain’t perfect. Some things are allowed, and some things are sprayed on the crop next to it and “float over,” some bad things might still be in the soil.
But it is grown without the most pesticides.

TAKE TWO APPLES: the non organic one (unless you know the farmer and his practices) has MORE PESTICIDE than the organic one. Hedge your bets. Buy organic or find your favorite farm.

It’s not about taste or health. It’s about LESS BRAIN POISON.
