Are organic food just the new fashion/style or a healthy choice?

I think at one time it was a pretty healthy choice. Now it's fashion.
The laws regulating what is and is not considered "organic" have recently been relaxed to include some pesticides. This is because some farming group lobbied for the laws to be relaxed. Organics has become a big industry and companies want in it that previously wouldn't have been allowed.
So now it's pretty much meaningless.

Organic foods deliver a higher percentage of vitamins, and nutrients. Unlike their "processed" counterparts, non-organic foods are higher in hormones,and various chemicals that cause cancer,depression,and other harmful diseases. So YES - Organic is the best way to stay healthy.As far as "trendy" , I think its only a trend if your still listening to Alanis,and Jewel,and you think its 1995.Just stay away from the Patchouli, you'll be fine.

you should if you don't want pesticides, pumped hormones or antibiotics in your food. I've been eating organic for 8 months now, I'm less sick, and have more energy than ever!

seems to be a fad that has its niche. if you are afraid of a little fertilizer and pesticide residue, then by all means.
