Anybody else not 'DO' Organic?

[dyzzidi]

Okay so I don't have kids yet so i may alter my opinion then but I don't do organic.

I actually refuse to buy anything organic as I feel it has not harmed me all of my life eating normal stuff.

I eat quite healthily lots of fruit and veg etc but will not pay for the organic label and what is organic ketchup & baked beans all about?. I thought if something was bad for you it was bad for you regardless of that is in it.

Also I don't do Tofu or quorn or anything I feel is manufactured veggies.

Ok there I have voiced the fact that I and many of my friends don't do organic, Anyone else?????

My Dad was an ag research scientist and "did" both sides over the years. In the 70's I remember him preparing lectures with slides showing the difference between veg grown "naturally" (very tiny!0 and drown with chemicals (huge!) At the time farmers and people in the food industry thought that this was wonderful. Years later he found that ounce for ounce the chemically enhanced food contained far fewer nutrients than the organic and completely changed to an organic mindset, opening an organic farm at the research centre where he worked. I try to buy organic where I can but if I'm skint, sometimes have to opt for the normal stuff.
