Why organic foods? What's the big deal? A veggie is a veggie and a fruit is a fruit, right? Let's try to break it down. There was a time, not so long ago, that our agricultural system did not contain these chemicals. Why would we need these in our foods today then? It's simple. It's profit driven, not health for the consumer driven. If a company can make some bread last a few years without molding (like McDonald's has with their buns), they can make a ton of money by not having to deal with that bread spoiling. So those chemicals (often on the product's ingredient list) are poured into and onto the product. And they get passed on to you and me for consumption! I don't want anything added to my food. Just like if I got it from the farmer directly, which you can at any local Farmer's market or local co-op stores, which I highly recommend.
