Organic foods are grown free of pesticides, synthetic fertilizers, growth hormones and genetically-engineered substances. Eating Organically is not something that i am doing because its more nutritious or its better for me, although it some ways it is. I recently have had a few discussions about what the purpose of eating organically or buying organic products is and those few things described above say it all... its better for the environment.
