> eat lots of organic vegetables, some organic fruit
"Organic" is an unscientific ideological term. It has absolutely nothing to do with the nutritional quality of food. Study after study has shown "organic" food to be nutritionally equivalent to scientifically farmed food, including quantities of pesticides found on them.

- mark_l_watson 13y agoYou should talk with my pet Parrot. If we give him non-organic food, he doesn't much like it. My wife and I agree: organic tastes better. I can not scientifically vouch for it being better for you, but I am very certain that it tastes better. My Dad is a member of the National Academy of Science and he used to roll out the "no proof" argument. My argument, which he eventually accepted and he now eats organic: 1. it really does taste better 2. what can it hurt to eat locally grown organic food? Is it worth a small amount of extra money, just in case it is better to eat food not grown with petroleum fertilizer? Anyway, make up your own mind.
