Organic food shows better nutrition if the trace elements (from tree leaves compost) are considered. The micronutrients support the production of enzymes that we need to absorb and use nutrition.

We can debate on the fact whether organic food is more nutritious or not but their is no denying the fact that it is much more safer to eat as it contains less or no chemicals at all unlike conventionally grown food which is doing a big harm to our body. It is high time that we switch back to the organic farming methods. supraorganics.com

Ive noticed that organic produce and milk stay fresh longer in the refrigerator than do conventional products. What explains that?

The New York Times had a recent article that indicated that with greater demands for "organic" foods, growers are now part of the agribusiness conglomerate. They are taking shortcuts, using pesticides that metabolize quickly and are therefore undetectable, and depleting water supplies. The articles and subsequent responses also state that standards are not being strictly enforced in some places. How would you respond to these arguments?

Its also the organic fertilizers, synthetic fertilizers used in non organic farming means that the nutrients in the food is based on synthetics, so that is also another reason why people eating organic have much less sickness as the antioxidents are natural as are the vitamins! Also you often need less organic fruit or vegies because its powerpacked with nutrients so this can reduce the cost. Passionate about organics!!!
