Of course lead etc are naturally occuring, however, we don't set out to add them to our food on purpose. That really is not a very good comparison. I could say that magic mushrooms are organic too, but I wouldn't be sitting down to a plate of them for dinner would I?

As far as the production of organic produce goes, the issue is not the base particles of the food that is in question. It is the poisons that are sprayed on the food to keep bugs off. It also encompasses the soil the plants are grown in and the fact that it should be free of pollutants and it covers the water and fertilizer used to encourage growth.

It's fairly simple HLJ. I expected a bit better from you to be honest.

If you dont like organic food, don't eat it. If you think your health is worth considering when you decide whether the purchase organic products or not, then buy the organic produce.

There may be no irrefutable facts either for or against organic produce however, if I have the choice, I'd much prefer the product without pesticides and other pollutants.
