Organic food is not going to be more nutritious for you.
Before all those chemicals were added our grandparents went to the store every day bought fresh produce and meats. They also had a shorter lifespan. but with the FDA and new methods has prevented meat and produce from spoiling. Outbreaks in preventable food borne illness have decreased. Being organic doesn't mean being healthy. Poop is organic, but I wouldn't make a diet of it.

More expensive-not more nutritious.

Organic food is good for your body because by choosing to eat only organically grown foods, you are supporting agriculture that DOES NOT participate in the excessive pollution of ground water, air and and soil with man-made chemicals that have been proved to be harmful to human, insect and wildlife. Also, the use of pesticides has upset the balance of natural predator insects --- thus creating a greater problem.
The ingestion of FRESH organic foods has to be better for your body, but the operative word is FRESH. If you can't find fresh organics, go for the frozen organics. They're flash frozen within a few hours of harvest, and carry a great deal of nutrition.
Upon harvesting of "conventional" produce, there is an "acceptable limit" of pesticide residue....you decide --- a few bug-bites and not necessarily "so pretty", but tasty chemical-free food vs. visually large, bug-proof, perfectly-shaped, not necessarily tasty, food with a dash of chemical residue...

It is good for the body the wany any other food is good for your body.
There is a perception that it is more healthy for you because pesticedes and horomones are not used during the growing process or in the animals. This is debateable and pretty much depends on what side of fence you are on.
Personally I don't think there's any real difference. The air is polluted and the water and soil probably have some in it because of the widespread use for many years.
