    If your organic produce is spoiling quicker it’s probably because it’s not being grown locally and has spent more time in transit than the regular produce; spraying pesticides or using synthetic fertilizer doesn’t really add any preservative properties.

    Organic or regular produce from the farmer’s market will beat anything in a supermarket. Alas, it’s a fucking pain in the ass to get to one here and it’s not the cheapest.

        Not all organic growers use pesticides.

        The reason you buy organic is for the health of the farmworkers and the environment, its not a selfish decision for the consumer’s own health
