[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Organic has no scientific proof of being better or healthier for you. It does provide a feeling that you are doing something good for your kids and paying more. [b]We do it but know that it's all BS.[/b] In fact it's a status thing where you can afford to throw out food early and pay more.[/quote]

This makes no sense whatsoever. You think it's BS and a status thing yet you buy organic? WTH?[/quote]

NP here: Studies haven't found significant health benefits to eating organic. There may still be reasons to prefer organic. Status could be one. I buy organic milk and eggs (am vegetarian) because I think - and might be wrong - that the animals are likely to be treated better, and animal welfare matters to me. I buy some organic vegetables because I think there might be some environmental benefits - and it makes me feel good to buy those veggies.
