The best they have is that x substance is toxic in far larger doses than humans are exposed to in produce. The second best are p-hacked correlative studies that only the science illiterate believe are causal.

Root vegetables do concentrate an awful lot of chemicals, particularly heavy metals. But this is due to the pollution of our air and water, which gets into the soil. Some conventional substances add to the concentrations, but then again so do some organic.

The most compelling reason for so-called organic practices is for the overall environmental health. The idea that organic produce makes a difference in personal health is pretty silly.

As for people now being the first generation to be less healthy than the last… we’ve seen a recent decline in life expectancy. Car accidents, gun violence, suicide, opioids/drugs, have also gone way up.

Cancer survivability has actually improved. More cancer is being diagnosed than in the past which is multi factorial. There’s even some who are investigating whether we diagnose and treat too much cancer (ie the cancer people have they won’t die from).

As for autism… I mean, I don’t even know where to start with that. The autism diagnosis has broadened so much, it’s thrown around to explain everything, and it’s not caused by conventional produce (which was MORE common in previous decades).

MAHA has brainwashed people.

The average American cannot afford to pay for organic food.

Do you buy and eat organic foods or use organic ingredients? Which ones?

There is a dirty dozen+ list of items you should only buy organic but plenty of people can't or won't buy organic.

It's hard to find any by the current definition of "organic" unless you know what you are doing and growing your own from non GMO products to begin with, and not using store bought fertilizers but only compost from organic sources themselves.

Then you have to use captured rainwater (don't get look up the laws against doing that) and when you wash your produce you have to use natural rainwater or else distilled water you distill yourself.

It's tough.

We do all this but use well water, it’s not that difficult at all.
