Here are ten good reasons to buy and eat organic food.
As Michael Pollan has pointed out in his latest book and in other places, the question we need to be asking is not, "Why do I have to spend so much to get organic food?" but, "Why do Americans spend so little on food in general?" As a percentage of average incomes, Americans spend far less on food than most other cultures in the world -- and our health would seem to support that fact. There are many good reasons, in addition to good health, to spend whatever it takes to get the best food possible.
