I would say yes, although there are some that disagree. I was watching a program with my husband last night..I don’t know what it was called but they were talking about how there was no difference in the way organic and non-organic produce was farmed. They were saying that organic farmers use pesticides..NO WAY! Tell me they are wrong.. From what I have learned, organic is supposed to be better for you, and pesticide free. Sure, organic does cost more, but to me it is worth it. If there are no differences in the farming and what is used to control pests then can someone please explain to me why organic produce tastes better? They also said there is no difference in nutritional value. I can understand that since an apple is an apple, but come on you can’t possible say that those pesticides doesn’t have an effect on you. On this program they were testing people to see if they could tell the difference between organic and non-organic by taste testing.. and you know what? All of the testers said that the non-organic produce tasted better. Of course some thoughts went through my mind at the time. On one of the tests they even tricked someone by having one non-organic banana halved and plated on two different plates one labeled organic and the other one not. The tester was a raw vegan, and she couldn’t tell the difference. Even though none of it was organic, she described the second half labeled as organic as having a better texture and flavor. She was stumped when she realized that she was critiqueing the same banana twice. As I watched, I couldn’t help but think…what was the reasoning behind this? Is it a message that organic farming is a scam? Or is it just a way to turn people away from buying organic? Over all, I will still buy organic when I can. I do believe there is a difference in quality and taste from what I can tell. If that program was meant to scare folks from buying organic then they didn’t get me. LadyOrganic will continue her steps to going green.
