There is no doubt in my mind that chemicals used in farming can be potentially harmful. Along with modern farming came proportionate increases in deadly diseases like cancer. As time progresses, we find more and more that artificial chemicals CAN be bad for us.
The organic "movement" seeks to reduce the uses of harmful chemicals and return us to a more natural means of producing our food. In my experience, organically raises vegetables taste better, have better texture, and store longer that the mas produced foods that come from the big commercial farms. Tomatoes would be a prime example. Can anybody deny that a fresh picked fully ripe tomato tastes better than a hothouse tomato that was picked green, gassed to turn it red, and refrigerated and shipped thousands of miles?

Personally, I raise almost all of my vegetables for the year in my back yard. I can, freeze, and preserve vegetables for use all year. The stuff from the stores simply does not measure up.
