I buy organic whenever possible, not because there are more nutrients, but because there are no pesticides, antibiotics or genetic manipulations.
So, the story is true up to a point. Organic may not have more nutrients and thus not be healthier than conventional (the term for non-organic), but overall organic IS healthier because of what it doesn't have.
I think the bottom line is choice like Ride says and I tend to shop and read box labels . I can't afford the organic stuff so right now there are farmers markets and that is where I buy my stuff . As for the pesticides and hormones .... that is why I say my grace before I eat so that I am protected . And the other stuff I wash really well . nothing much else I can do .

I tend to buy our food not based on what is in it, but based on what is NOT in it.
Many of the additives they put in food such as growth hormones and animal vaccines cause all sorts of side effects in humans. Especially having two daughters I don't want them starting and developing things prematurely.
