Organic food?

[Bibliofagus]

According to Wikipedia, there are no taste or health benefits to organic food. Agree?

I think this is an oversimplication.

- Eating organic food is often a life style thing, and I think it should be viewed as that when considering 'health benefits'. This means there is a ton of context. Organic foods eaters are generally more likely to grow it themselves (which means exercise), and/or buy it locally (which means better contacts). It's also a hobby and thus provides a sense of fulfillment. Another thing is that being able to provide for your own food, or get it from a person you really know - at least in my country - has been viewed as - very - important for at least 50 years after WO2. Not having a food source that feels/is under control was a source of stress. Right now in The Netherlands - with our endless crisis - I see a tendency of that feeling returning. Hell. I feel it myself.
Our government recently told us that it would be a good idea to have a garden full of veggies, I kid you not.

- In countries where legislation on pesticides is lax the opposite is likely to be true. Context again.

- Environmental consequences, and the impact these can have on my health later on in my life, are generally not included in any consideration of 'health benefits'.
