If you grow your own food, with organic soil in beds..
I think it’s better. I think that there are many ways that corporate farms do the minimum to be able to use the designation.

@SW-User Yes same, I always buy food on the market where most of it is home grown, and fresh milk too.

@SW-User You are what you eat. Maybe that makes a difference....
@SW-User It depends which foods. Some foods don't absorb pesticides as readily as others. Others are sponges for it.

I grow and eat my own food, no pesticides and now only my own compost.
Looking at the definition of 'organic' I know my fruit and veg is in a cleaner state than what is 'allowed' as organic, which appears to have lost it's meaning looking at the definition according to DEFRA.
I actually do, if it's truly organic. It's such a catch-all phrase anymore.
And, you can't be absolutely certain it's organic just because it's labeled so. Growers and marketers aren't beyond misrepresenting their products just to make a buck.

it does when it comes to the dirty dozen. strawberries, spinach, kale, collard and mustard greens, peaches, pears, nectarines, apples, grapes, bell and hot peppers, and cherries. they are the most pesticide laden foods. when i first started eating organic foods, commercial apples were awful; mealy, tasteless on the inside and medicine type taste on the outside. nowadays designer apples are as good as organic, imo.

@pentacorn I agree with that. Grow your own, that's the best way to me. I'm getting started...

@paulisretired hey, hey! that's great. i certainly have the space for it but i admit i have little interest in learning to do it, lol. i could see it becoming an interest if i had someone knowledgeable to maybe share a garden. i would work for it, i just don't even know where to begin, so i head to the market. i hope your efforts are very... fruitful ;)

@pentacorn There is always more food from a garden than one can eat, yeah get someone to share and help.

Unorganic/pesticide laden/gmo "food" is way healthier than organic food. Monsanto told me so
gol979 · 41-45, M
@Anon066 organic = unorganic. Thats some orwellian 1984 language.

Lets get the definition of organic correct first. Organic food (veg etc) is not touched by any gmo/pesticides (and using garlic or lemon water to deter bugs isnt a pesticide). Natural seed, planted in natural compost and soil.....thats organic.

Is un-organic "food" still healthier/the same as the correct definition of organic food?

@gol979 i suggest you read some research on the topic, or at least google the basics lol, you have no idea what you're talking about.
gol979 · 41-45, M
@Anon066 ok, i will check out monsantos "information" leaflet and try educate myself by learning that organic means unorganic
KA9ha · 31-35, M
least pesticides ,low in chemicals ,all contents are edible and completely digestible..
DMmeyourtits · 26-30, M
Maybe...

But nowadays sustainable or regenerative food is better for the ecosystem

No, but it is sometimes better quality/nicer tasting
if it is REALLY organic yes.. many labels are mislaeding
elbbbslsbl · 51-55, M
I don't know much about this, but I'm guessing yes
Anon066 · 31-35, M
nah, there's no research showing it is.
Yes, particularly with the produce dirty dozen.
