First I read this article...
https://www.helpguide.org/articles/healthy-eating/organic-foods.htm
... an overview of the why's.
Were we still in our thirties, perhaps to make a decision based on the environmental aspects, but now, driving less than 1,000 miles/yr., feel we may have balanced off the sins of contamination.
Yesterday, at the market... organic milk gal. $3.49... we paid $1.28.... Brown eggs, $3.49/doz.... we paid $.64. Strawberries $3.99, we paid $1.24.
Frankly, taste (and smell) no longer a concern... one of the sad sides of old age for some people.
While the article cited some evidence of improved health from eating organically, the arguments/studies, seemed of somewhat less concern than certainties than the thousands of warnings that we receive on other health concerns.
Maybe if we were younger, or more affluent, the change to organic would be more reasonable, but for us, not an urgent concern.
Not meant to start an argument, but simply to explain why it's not a priority for jeanie and me.
