That wouldnt make any sense whatsoever, the non organic produce is engineered in a way that it can grow bigger, faster, in different climates, the pesticides allow them to reduce loss due to bugs or disease. Therefore they have to grow much more carefully and in a lower volume.... mass production will always cost less than a smaller production scheme

Then it should be way cheaper not the opossite.

Not true at allllll, they do not use ANY pesticides or hormones or anything like that, when you buy organic how good the produce is more likely to vary because its not engineered to be the same everytime, but when you get organic produce at a good time there 10x better than non organic. Organic milk tastes soo much fresher and cleaner, no chemically taste.... that being said, i dont buy it cause the price tag is too high but when i go to my parents house or someones house that does buy it its a nice treat. Stuff is so much more healthy for you. For example i have a 65 yr old aunt that has been eating nothing but organic foods for many years and using homeopathic remedies instead of the doctor and perscription drugs and she teaches yoga and runs at least 2 marathons a year, coincidence? I think not.
p.s. i also work in a grocery store

then you know what, you might have something there. a big moneymaker. go out, grow a bunch of stuff using seeds, water, soil, and sunshine and you can sell the organic stuff for the cost of the engineered stuff and make millions. ya got it all figured out.

LOL @ Wikipedia, thats where i got this quote from haha.
"Organic foods are produced according to certain production standards, meaning they are grown without the use of conventional pesticides, artificial fertilizers, human waste, or sewage sludge, and that they were processed without ionizing radiation or food additives. Livestock are reared without the routine use of antibiotics and without the use of growth hormones."

I don't care wot anyone thinks, We buy stuff at our regular shop, fruit & veg & its ok. But we have a produce market here every two weeks & the stuff they sell organic wise is fantastic. Things like garlic, tomatoes & olives & milk etc, last longer, tastes better & being a market in most cases is cheaper than the shops.

I hate mators so no thanks lol. and most of the stuff sold around here is bought from local farmers anyhow, not some mass producing farm.

That is very true, farmers market does sell some dam tasty produce, then again the store i work at time has over 100 of its produce items shipped in from farms in the local area daily (i.e NJ). Then again i may be biased on this whole situation due to the fact that i have worked in a supermarket that does such things for the past 4+ years hahaaha, if i was used to a different store or didnt have the inside scoop i may have different sentiments

Organic is BS. It doesn't mean it's good for you, it just isn't poisoned on purpose. I eat better than 99% of people and I can score just as good fruits and veggies for normal prices.
