> But then I am deeply skeptical of nutrition science in general. Yeah, me too. And I acknowledge that these studies don't inspire confidence about health results, but I do think it's clear that organic food (especially animal products) is very much distinguishable from orthodox food. And it's reasonable to be concerned about some of the chemicals present in some orthodox food but absent in organic food. > Moreover, if organic food had a large effect on health we would expect today's rich kids to be substantially healthier than those of my generation, who ate Wonder Bread and Jif, but I have seen no such evidence. I'm not sure that's true - in order to properly assert this, you'd need to know that Wonder Bread and Jif had substantial quantities of pesticides that are prohibited under an organic label at the time you ate them.
