Was recently reading about a study the Dutch consumers union published back in January. They concluded that organic produce didn’t contain any more vitamins or minerals than conventionally grown stuff. While I’ve read a few reports that contradict that conclusion, my reaction is….so what?

While it would be nice if organic fruits and veggies had more nutrients, that’s not the reason why I buy them, and I would venture to guess it doesn’t rank #1 on most organic shoppers’ lists. The main focus when buying organically grown is not on getting more of the good stuff, it’s on getting less (hopefully none) of the bad stuff, i.e., poison, otherwise known as chemical pesticides. Apparently this study did not even address this fact. Talk about missing the point!
