Never basically.
From my reading it can be helpful for the environment but for actual superior health benefits the science seems inconclusive.

To me it just a marked up price on normal foods in which I am highly unlikely to truly know if everything that claims it is 'organic' is actually untreated from artificial chemicals.

There is some produce that has less pesticides in organic varieties... but other than that, it's basically just more expensive. Also, you can wash your food.

A few rare times, similar items that were labeled "organic", were on sale and cheaper than the non organic food, so I bought them, but only cause I saved $$, not cause it's "organic"Originally Posted by CommitmentRulz

I found some fruit and vegetable wash at TJ MAXX the other day... seems legit. Before that i've just used water which probably wasn't doing much.Originally Posted by AdamWW

Yeah I use this stuff from Trader Joe’s... mainly seems to just help liberating dust/dirt compared to using only water. Non-toxic and apparently made from food grade stuff too so, that’s a plus.Originally Posted by rhadam

Organic food is a big scam.

Copper sulfate and elemental sulfur are more acutely toxic than most chemical pesticides on the market. I would rather get sprayed by a passing tractor full of a chemical fungicide mix than one of those, because they would cause more immediate pain and discomfort. However that does not mean that they are more toxic overall, since many chemical pesticides have been linked to other health risks, especially with repeated exposure over time.Originally Posted by keyboardworkout
Thankfully, most of those chemicals have been taken off the market. Today’s chemical pesticides are nothing like what was allowed in the mid 1900s, which basically nuked everything.

Organic foods won't make you more swole and it's not even clear if they are more healthy than conventional foods.

One study showed soaking apples in baking soda removed a lot of the pesticides.
I wouldn't worry about organic unless you have small children eating the food or are pregnant. In that case I would avoid organophosphates.

One thing I will say is that, at times, certain produce can actually taste different (to me) when I buy organic vs conventional...
Call me crazy... most of the organic bananas and strawberries I buy have a different taste.Last edited by AdamWW; 12-23-2019 at 06:11 PM.

12-23-2019, 06:31 PM #15I will buy organic depending on what looks better. However, I will not buy organic bananas. They definitely do taste different and I prefer the non organic variety.Originally Posted by AdamWW

tfw all the food you buy is organic as its only thing we have here in croatia. sure we have GMO food and stuff but great great majority of fruits, veggies and meat are organic and "home grown" on local small farms

This pretty much, i'll buy say flax/chia or veggies/fruits in the organic type if the price is right. I mean, if you're paying the same anyway, test it out and see if you like it. For me flax and chiaseeds are a must in my diet, and sometimes the store won't have any other kind than organic - so I do take the slight hit on that. But I avoid organics if the regular kind is in stock and a better buy. Maybe some day when money isn't a concern, hey organic everything and live like a rock star, but for now - this is just plain smart shopping.Originally Posted by boo99

High fat meats due to pesticide residue, which is fat insoluble.

meta analysis shows that nutrient content is no different in organic foods.

Most people who are into organics, at least those who are honest and educated, do not make those claims. It's the pesticide residues that may be of concern for certain fruits and veggies that are heavily treated, although that risk can be greatly reduced with washing.Originally Posted by SuffolkPunch
IMO choosing animal products that are from more humanely raised animals is probably the best place to put your food dollars. IMO the health claims with that are likely overstated, but at least you are eating an animal that suffered less, and it will probably be a higher quality meat.
