Theres actually no difference except for the fact that organic rots faster. Watch a show called Penn and Teller's Bullshit they have an episode of it. And i work next to an organic farm and they use pesticides that are 10 times worse. Just sayin

Maybe all natural/ organic. Personally the quality is better to me. Healthy isn't always organic though. You can have organic chocolate cake and obviously that's not good for you. I just prefer to eat healthy foods.

Organic is the wrong word! It's a stupid buzz word that people have clung to like bees to honey! They should be saying something like all natural or pesticide free. That would be closer to what they are looking for.

I remember seeing the results of a study done a few years back that concluded, 'at best, organic food is no worse for you than regularly grown food'. I wish I could remember where.

I prefer to grow my own organic food...even feed my chickens organic and the eggs are great! Once you get going growing organic food is not difficult, but it does take time to get used to doing things the right way.

Yes, for some things, but not for health reasons. I'm totally for taking better care of our farmland through less use of pesticides. But I auto-eye roll at people who claim that organic is more nutritious or that non-organic will give you cancer.

putting the label, Organic, on a food product just means you've meet standards set by the FDA. Standards that have never been updated. Now pay more for fresh, or locally grown food, that I'll do.

I always thought that people who were obsessive about organic foods would also avoid modern medicine...you know all those unnatural vaccines & pills full of chemicals.

After finding out the horrible chemicals in our food I do my best to buy free range, hormone free, organic food. I actually take classes at my university on this subject

My brother in law farms, and tried to grow organic, cost so much to grow he lost money... It all tasted the same, but I know some have allergic reaction to some of the chemicals they use.. So yes I understand the cost..but I am not willing

What I don't understand is how can you consider it organic food when it's wrapped in cellophane, which is made with a petroleum byproduct. I worked in the grocery industry for years and the only difference is price....that's it.

Organic farming is not sustainable. It consumes 1.6x the land of modern farming. There are over 6 billion & growing mouths to feed in the world. Higher cost farming that requires more land clearing is not the answer.

I have no idea how this is a partisan issue. It is true that there is no definitive conclusion as far as health benefits are concerned, but usually there are economic and social implications when you are choosing to buy food.

In the past I would've said yes, but I've learned that some so-called organic foods are really not organic. Anyway, the best way to control what you eat is to grow produce yourself. It can be done in any suburban yard, and even in urban settings.

I said yes, but its not really the organic label that I go for, because the regulations or something to be called "organic" don't always mean what you think they mean.
I like hormone free things, grass fed milk and butter, basic ingredients (no

Given the heavy use of manure for fertilizing organic foods, the potential for E Coli contamination is higher. I won't buy organic at the same price.

I like my lettuce without bugs, thanks. The one time my husband accidentally grabbed organic instead almost put me off lettuce forever. Also, once you take into consideration demand vs. local supply and what companies do to get it into stores, it's not so "green" anymore.

It takes 1.6 acres of land to produce an organic product that only takes 1.0 acres for modern farming. That means more land clearing to produce the same amount of food. Which means organic farming has a negative impact on the environment.

To be honest, organic really does taste the same. People just want it to taste different because they are spending more. Hand anyone two apple say ones organic and they will say its "better" even when it's not. I think it's a waste of time and money
