6. That guy REALLY likes himself

If someone wants to limit the amount of pesticides that go through their body isn't that THEIR choice? That's all the OP is advancing -- truth in labeling.

This strawman about 'organic food not having more nutrients' misses the point. Organic consumers are paying extra for what is NOT in the food.

And seldom mentioned in this debate -- farm workers. In many conventional farming operations, they have to work in an environment where there are high concentrations of toxins. Almost no one, not even most organic consumers, seem to care about them. If they do, they seldom mention it.
