In some instances the data are clear, in some other instances they are either absent or subject to very selective interpretation. Not that organic food is harmful. Just more expensive, certainly an optional lifestyle choice, but not scientifically nor environmentally superior to regular, agri-business, supermarket produce. If you live in a rural, agricultural area (as I do) and you want to support your neighbours and the local economy by buying local, that appears to make sense to me. But don't succumb to the marketing push for "green" produce and the myth that buying organic will somehow "safe" the environment, as it is simply not true.
