Organic or Not?

It’s only Tuesday and I have already seen three articles this week about the importance (or not) of buying and eating organic food. Now, I personally think that organic fruits and vegetables taste better and have more nutrition and I prefer to buy food as whole as I can with minimal or no processing. Living in Minnesota and Wisconsin in the winter however makes that a little more difficult but the variety that stores are stocking seems to get better each year.

The argument appears to be about the increased cost as some people are not willing to pay more for organics.

The way I look at it is we only have one body and I would like to take good care of mine. Another point of view is that the more organic we buy the more signals we send that this is what we want and the more farms there will be. Hopefully that will help to keep costs down.

So get out there and support the organic farms!
