RE: What Eating Organic Does To Your Body Internally
Organic is better for you and for the earth. It's not without pesticides (organic methods just use natural ones), but I'll take those above the chemicals any day. And it's not just the pesticides; the nutrient balance in the food is better when it's fed broader fertilizers that include a range of different elements and micronutrients, not just the big three that they feed most conventional crops.
As for the cost, consider medical bills later in life, plus the fact that much conventional agriculture poisons the planet. You just need a longer term view of the costs and then organic doesn't seem so expensive.
Organic is still grown with pesticides, but at least we can rest assure it's not highly toxic as conventionally grown food. Organic food supports a healthy world and food system in more than a dozen ways. If you know how and where t shop, you can buy organic food at low prices without breaking your bank!
