    Why do they recommend organic labeled food?

    The organic labeling is largely bs to justify charging more for a similar product imo. I can’t really say any of the organic labeled produce I’ve gotten is notably better than the “normal” version.

      Turns out there are substantial chemical / nutritive differences between ‘conventional’ and organically grown food. There’s actually more nutrition, more food, per unit volume in organic food. If you’d like to understand why, then you should read the books, as well as In Defense of Food, by Michael Pollan.
