Ah well...

There have been plenty of studies comparing organic food versus regular in terms of nutrition. There is no difference. If there was a difference, and that difference was repeatable, you'd be seeing 100 foot tall signs in front of Whole Foods saying "OUR STUFF IS MORE NUTRITIOUS!"

All plants produce toxins naturally. This is what they use to defend themselves against predation. Spinach, for instance, has a lot of oxalic acid.

Organically grown food does not mean pesticides are not used. It simply means that organic pesticides are used. The most popular insecticide used by far is pyrethrin.
