Irresponsible journalism! Well the headlines at least. The report states there are insignificant nutritional benefits to organic food! ?120,000 to tell us that? Forumites you are correct in that organic farmers tend to treat their animals with more respect. ?Tend?. I suspect most people buy organic because of this and because they don?t like the idea of chemicals being on their food, not because an organic orange has more vitamin C. This research which is being misrepresented buy the media I have seen totally misses the point. Do the chemicals used in modern industrial farming definitely have unpleasant side effects? Intuitively middle class middle England thinks so.
