Who cares about healthier? Organic food, especially local organic food, simply tastes better. Probably not because it is grown without pesticides but rather because the farmer gives a damn.

- ars 14y agoThat was not a double blind taste test, that was a single blind test and basically worthless. I simply do not believe those people that were quoted about pesticides. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hudson_Institute#Criticism http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hudson_Institute#Criticism They make some good points, but they are very careful to pick and choose only things that support their story.
- sitkack 14y agoCompare organic to non-organic carrots. Double blind yourself all you want, hands down organic carrots (things labeled as) are x10 better than the woody sticks they are compared to.
- Turing_Machine 14y agoThat has more to do with the cultivar than the method of growth. Standard supermarket vegetables are bred to withstand shipping and handling, not for taste.
- sitkack 14y agoOk, so organic is correlated but not the cause. I will stick with my weak, can't be transported long distances tasty food.
