Yes absolutely. But we pay for organic food to get a more wholesome product that has (mostly) more nutrients and uses fewer artificial pesticides. I don't know what humans would bring to the table if robots can do their jobs. The human energy should be devoted to better things.

- gambiting 13y agoA recent UK study ran by the government(I can find source if you'd like) found absolutely no difference in nutritional value between organic and non-organic food. Organic food might be more tasty,but if you actually look at nutritional values it is identical to non-organic food. Read as: non-organic feeds hungry people just as well. I am not saying that organic food is pointless - heck, I buy organic onions because they taste better and I buy organic milk and chicken meat because I vaguely care about how these animals are kept. But I do not subscribe to an idea that everyone absolutely has to eat organic food. It is not only non-essential, but I think it might actually be impossible.

- agilebyte 13y agoThanks for the link, did not know about the non-existent nutritional value difference. Was basing my views on some earlier paper that spelled out which food was worth buying organic and which not. 30% less likely to contain pesticides is a nice positive benefit.
