I see eating organic produce as a long-term approach for good health, not likely to show effects in the short-term.

Also, I like to think I "vote" with my food dollar. So I "vote" for sustainably-grown food where farming practices enhance the soil, avoid polluting the watershed & preserve wildlife.

It's a good investment for future generations, too. Both for the health of future children, but also of their descendents.

Nope. Plus, I feel a lot better not spending as much on regular veggies. :-) Of course, I scrub 'em furiously in an attempt to get rid of any chemical residue.

No. But I had significant improvements when I eliminated nuts and vegetables from my diet and replaced them with fruit. Generally fruit where I lives tends to be of high quality, I judge this by shelf life, it just doesn't go bad. I haven't had American farmed fruit in 6 years or so. I'm feeling fine. But since I wasn't eating like I do now it really isn't a fair comparison.

I would argue that getting grass fed over conventional meat (and pastured eggs) is a much bigger qualitative improvement than the switch to organic produce from regular. But if you eat a lot of the heavy pesticide stuff (apples. strawberries...) - it might make sense to try to find organic. I just don't eat much of those anyway.

Hard to know whether your "organic" food is really organic. It's all based on the honors system. I don't bother with organic, but grow everything myself using organic practices.

If your supermarket has an "organic corner" as mine does, here's an article that might help prioritize when it's worth paying for organic. Some crops tend to have more pesticides than others.
