    Our household has gone organic and we make most of our food from scratch because of health reasons (allergies). Personally speaking, there are lots of foods that claim to be organic that aren’t, which is a problem. But I would suggest you trying organic milk, veggies and fruits before you decide. It is extremely apparent in the quality of those things. I hate organic beef, have no idea why. It might be that supplier, it might be the grass they eat because I’m allergic to grass, who knows. Just like anything else, it’s a matter of trust because yes, they do check but not that much. I would stay away from pasta and canned foods made in countries with loose regulations that are called organic (trader joes) because it might be okay but it might not too. It’s unfortunately just like everything, the greeds trying to scam.

    As far as environment, I disagree. The land needs less pesticides because they are killing our bees, our ecosystem and causing all kinds of health problems in everyone. We also need to eat less as Americans and supplement our food with homegrown which would bring more nature to backyards and rooftops. That would be better for the environment.

    I’m not going to fight about this, look to the EU for pesticide laws and organic laws. Like Ireland just makes organic butter and doesn’t need to call it that, it’s just food. Last comment.
