The cost of organic food

Is it really worth the extra bucks for pesticide free food?

I met with a client recently who told me that she thought organic foods "weren't worth the cost". She said the fruits and vegetables weren't as nice looking as the regular ones but they cost more. I admit it; they are a little more expensive than commercial products. But isn't our health worth it? Also, organic farming is a much more sustainable method. It's more environmentally friendly - not spewing pollutants into the air around our communities. And the foods usually taste a lot better (even if they don't look ridiculously over colorful and huge like their commercial counterparts). So, I look at it like this: the few added dollars I'm paying for organics are really going to support a cause that improves my health, the health of my entire community, and the health of the planet. And then it looks like a bargain!!
