Yes, because rganicallty grown foods not only are better for the soil in wich they're grown, but the preservatives in non-organics are chemical nightmares that can harm the body as they degrade.

My personal rule: If given the choice between good looking organic produce and good looking commercial produce, I choose organic.
Given the choice between sorry looking organic produce and good looking commercial produce, I choose commercial. Generally organic is better because it is produced on living soil, while commercial produce is produced on sterile soil with fertilizer added.
Quality organic produce is going to be richer in vitamins and minerals. However a caveat. Not all food labeled "organic" is any better than commercial. Common sense goes a long way here.

Organic food is definitely healthier. No one will question that but...
Food is only as "organic" as the seller claims it to be so you have to trust your source. Since it's also very expensive and it's almost impossible to guarantee the source many people have chosen to either grow their own as much as possible, join farm co-ops or buy foods that have been treated with pesticides and hope it doesn't kill them.

Organic means that pesticides are not used. Pesticides kill bugs and are harmful to humans as well.
The food does have to be certified organic, I think these people are confusing natural with organic. Natural is a marketing ploy, organic means grown without pesticides.

YES! Of course the lack of preservatives and chemical hormones leads to it being a food that our bodies have gotten used to and benefitted from over thousands of years.
These added chemicals interfere with bodily functions not to mention make food taste worse as it kills many natural agents
