Organic food is a multimillion dollar business predication on the fact that ‘organic is better.’ Well, it’s not better as far as the
Alan Dangour, one of the report's authors, stated:
“A small number of differences in nutrient content were found to exist between organically and conventionally produced foodstuffs, but these are unlikely to be of any public health relevance . . .â€
[…]
"Our review indicates that there is currently no evidence to support the selection of organically over conventionally produced foods on the basis of nutritional superiority."
It appears that buying ‘organic’ is simply a ‘lifestyle’ choice, which doesn’t make a bit of difference. So, why not just save yourself a few bucks.

[He] has issued an apology to Kindle customers after "1984" and other books by British novelist George Orwell were remotely deleted from their electronic readers.
"This is an apology for the way we previously handled illegally sold copies of '1984' and other novels on Kindle," the Amazon chief executive said in a post on Thursday on the Kindle Community discussion forum.
