People don't buy organic fruit because it costs more and they don't understand its value. It costs more because it is real food, not designed to be a product that lasts a long time on the shelf and looks good.

Commercially grown pears are typically sprayed 7 times while growing to kill the bugs. You can't wash all the spray off, it is 7 layers deep. This spray is poison.

Wonder why cancer is epidemic? One of the reasons is that people want cheap pretty food, and they forgot that it is food first. Organic food is tastier, more nutritious and although it may not be as cosmetically perfect as commercial produce, it is better for you and better for the environment.

If you do a little research into the realities of modern food production, you would never eat commercially produced food unless you had a strong death wish.

Even the economics are skewed. Organic food is actually cheaper in the long run because it keeps you well. You won't have to worry about doctor bills and health insurance and the cost of drugs if you start practicing preventative medicine by eating right and expecting to stay healthy.
