Organic

What is organic?

Organic is a method of farming, and goes somewhere along these lines (It is different in different countries):

Organic farmers are supposed to use more traditional methods, like crop rotation. Organic food has become very popular over the last decade.

Is it good?

Health

If you read what I said earlier, organic farmers are supposed to not use synthetic 'cides or fertilizers. Most "natural" 'cides and fertilizers are just as bad or even worse!
Some studies have even found organic to have an identical amount of pesticides! Also, the amount of pesticides in your produce doesn't do anything noticable.

Environment

Conventional produce requires more energy and has slightly more 'cides and fertilizers, but organic is less efficient and requires more land. Organic does not have a noticable impact on the environment. If You want to be good for the environment, buy local and seasonal produce.

Conclusion

While organic food does not hurt, it is not very meaningful, and what really matters is eating vegetables and fruits, and buying local and seasonal.
