All the information I have says that FRESH is better tasting and more
nutritious. "Organic" doesn't mean fresh. I know of no correlation
between organic and nutrition and taste. Can anyone enlighten me?
Or is this NMI guy lying? It is my perception that the primary
marketing ploy for organic is that the chemicals that may be found on
non-organic produce are a health risk, that is, that you get cancer from
eating non-organic produce.
