Where I am most concerned about organic foods is in eggs and poultry. They use so many antibiotics. I buy costco organic eggs and two things stand out. The shells are much harder and the eggs are smaller. I think smaller eggs means younger chickens?

<<<The health benefits really ended up being almost inadvertent, a nice fringe benefit" of sustainable farming, says a scientist at Consumers Union>>>>> What a bunch of hooey. So you get the same vitamin A in your produce that is either organic or raised on a corporate megafarm. I get that and would suspect no other result - BUT that doesn't mean there isn't a huge cost to our health because these corporate farms are flooding their farms with pesticides AND antibiotics. So we are now dealing with the huge cost of resistant bugs and guess who gets to pay for that cost!
