Maggs this is for you..... Even some proponents of organic food are now suggesting that the nutrition question is a bit of a sideshow. On her blog, Marion Nestle argues that the case for buying organic produce hinges more on how our food is produced and concern for the environment: As I said, if they are more nutritious, its a bonus, but there are plenty of other good reasons to prefer them. She doesnt list those reasons, but proponents often cite things like less fertilizer runoff and pollution or fewer antibiotics being used in farms or less pesticide exposure for farmworkers. Still, the Guardian recently cited one survey suggesting that at least 55 percent of organic buyers list healthy eating as a reason for purchasing. So its unlikely this debate will go away anytime soon — and itll remain of keen interest to a lot of people.
