As much as you'd like to think it is safe, we simply don't know.
For the MOST part, it's the SAME FOOD.

What do you NOT understand about that?


But you go right ahead and think whatever you want. Pay 3x more for "certified organic" foods, even though you have NO IDEA where those foods come from - of if they're being grown right across the fence from a guy who's spraying chemicals on every acre he farms (this literally happens across America). You don't even have any way of knowing exactly what "certified organic" means or entails (A farmer only has to be "organic" for 3 years to be certified - regardless of the FACT that there may be 50 years' worth of Atrazine in his soil. In addition, he can spread manure from ANYWHERE on his land, and he also can use feed supplements that are from rendered animals.).

You don't know where your "certified organic" food comes from.

I know where my "non-organic" food comes from!
