Normal is organic. Any food that isn't is synthetic, filled with chemical additives, unnaturally processed or irradiated so it looks fresh.

It supposed to be, I eat it. It is basically food that has been sprayed with either no or less pesticides, Which in turn is very good for the Consumer and The environment

There is no difference in the nutrition. However, it is much healthier in that there are no chemicals used on organic foods. This is what makes it healthier for us and the environment.

Organic food is pure. It has not been treated with growth agents.It has not been genetically altered. Europe bans genetically altered foods. Have you noticed onions don't smell like onions anymore?
Organic food costs a little more, but it's actually worth it.

Nope , there are really no findings that it is better for you.
When it comes to food I concentrate on it being fresh. If it is just picked then all the nutrients are still in it and have not started to break down. Also I try to eat as many of my veggies raw so I don't cook out the nutrients as well.
Organic is just a nice way of say "more expensive"

Organic food is free of pesticides, chemicals, or any other additives. So yes, it is better for you, because the food is natural.

There is no indication that 'organic' food is any better for you
than normal food.
Sorry, but true.
Anyone would want to avoid food contaminated with toxic agents,
but this is not documented at all with respect to normal diets

yes because theres no added perservatives salt sugar its all natural but some regular food could be healthier too but needs to be changed up when it gets to the ingredients so it too can be healthy

Ironically, ogranic food can often be more harming to the environment than unorganic food.
This is because it can often require more energy to produce the food, and more energy means more pollution.
I can't remember where I read this, so I cannot give you a reference. Sorry.
