Bad for the environment, maybe. Organic possibly less so. It's the same type of plants, so nutritionally there's no difference.

yeah that's what it's all about in todays world. talk about greed.
edit: im not a snob, i am only human. So i take what i can get to survive, sometimes organic foods aren't available for everyone. Whether it be because of expenses, or whatever. it's a damn shame.

I'd go organic if I could afford it but honestly its a plant in the end. It's gonna be good for you.. after hearing hours upon hours on my professor bitching about how the FDA makes it near impossible for drugs to pass I trust them enough with out food..

Because of a bunch of unsubstantiated claims and anecdotal evidence.

organic can be just as bad if not worse, the approved organic pesticides arent insect specific so they can kill everything that comes in contact with a plant including the beneficial insects such as pollinators and with commercially grown organics, a great deal depends on the standards set by the country of origin since the USDA doesnt regulate mexican or chinese certification, they also dont seem to regulate the US markets very well since 5% of the total products used on crops can be 'synthetic' in nature.
overall, organic is a scam

They are usually more reasonably priced, and generally just as healthy as "organic".

It may just be my imagination, but I swear some of the organic produce that I have tried tasted so much better than the non-organic version. Especially with carrots and strawberries. They seem to be so much more flavorful.

Not exactly. It was predicted that London would run out of food like 50 years ago, that is why a lot of research went into finding ways to make more resilient crops to pathogens and diseases. The guy who predicted was wrong because of course he didn't take into account technology advancing...
They just take a gene codon and put into the DNA of the plant to make it resilient. Nothing about that is harmful. Unless you have scientific sources then I have to disagree. My argument has countless articles and journals. No difference.
Arguably genetically modified crops saved London.

I only buy and eat certified organic produce. It's healthier for the earth and for me, and it helps local farmers who resist bowing to the GMO imperialists. I know I'm not taking any poisons into my body when I eat organic whole foods. I can't believe people are putting inorganic poison into their bodies and don't even think twice about it.

I dunno if I buy into the GMO=evil poison toxins idea. On the other hand the way Mosanto et all operates rubs me the wrong way. Like changing plants so that farmers have to buy new seed from them every time. We have to accept new technology to benefit a growing population. But they don't have to be greedy assholes about it. And I'd rather we found a way to not eat any roundup.
That said, yea organic heirloom tomatoes do taste waaaay better than the strangely large, off color tomatoes...

Lol if we keep accommidating the growing population itll just be worse in the end. I think organic is better because it doesn't kill the shit out of the honey bee population etc. Definitely better for the environment atleast!

I made this RE: GMO Safety.
-------------------- Favorite entheogen experiences in descending order: 1)Combo of oral DMT + smoked Bufotenine 2)Amanita (urine drank twice) 3)Mushrooms > Achuma 16"+cid(still need higher dose Achuma)> Cid (still need high dose) 4)Morning Glory-HBWR (+cumin, cinnamon aldehyde adducts) > Methyl chavicol (need more activators) 5)Salvia (need to try quid)
All readable matter in the above post is ficticious... any similarities to real life are purely coincidental. Blessing.

Buying organic produce from Kroger doesn't help local farmers whatsoever.
It's nt healthy for the earth to ship a head of organic cabbage across the country. Especially since it's organic and has a shorter shelf life.
I cant believe you're putting trace amounts of organic pesticides into your body. Certified organic foods allow for a certain amount of inorganic chemicals to be used anyway.
