Infact, not for one second have i thought of organic food as more nutrition dense, only as non organic food as chemically contaminated. Maybe that's how we should be looking at this...



Exactly.  It's not about organic food containing more nutrients.  It's about what it doesn't contain.  Not to mention that it's more sustainable for the environment.  Also, it tastes better.

I wonder if you people could pass a blind taste testing



It's been done.  People consistently prefer the taste of organic over non-organic food.

Alright, Ill give it a go at some point.  My roommate used to buy all organic and frankly I never noticed a difference.  Im going to put this one under the power of suggestion, however ill wait for final judgment until I get the ball rolling on this test.



It's more noticeable in some foods than others, but I dare you to try organic milk alongside regular milk and tell me you don't notice a difference.  Same goes for eggs.

Blind faith is a problem with a lot of movements, including movements I support.  One problem with what the organic movement has become is that the USDA continues to lower the standards of what counts as organic.  Another is that many so-called organic farmers have lost touch with the permaculture roots of the movement.  Part of the original idea of organic agriculture was that the farm would produce everything it needed to sustain itself -- essentially the idea behind permaculture.  Instead, many "organic" farmers are more than happy to import products for their farm, so long as they're all "natural."
