Absolutely correct. I have never been under the assumption that organic is any more nutritional. However, at the same time, I am also of the belief that all of the pesticides, herbicides etc are not good for you.
It has been my finding that quite often, organic is much better tasting. And that comes down to the growing methods. Usually organic is harvested when it is ripe, unlike nonorganic which in my experience is picked when too green. Consequently, when the non organic looks ripe, it might be soft and of the right color, but is just not as good tasting.
