Organic foods are another marketing ploy that taps into people emotional responses. No, they do not taste any different; no, they are not better for the environment. You have to consider all the factors in making that last statement: amount of land used to grow it, transportation of goods (organic foods are often shipped much farther than conventional), amount of resources needed to grow (organic requires more water and can't grow in every climate, so your organic oranges in NY are shipped pretty damn far), etc. On top of everything, organic yields are significantly lower, and this world already has a mass food shortage. Focus on technology improving our food sources. That'll bring food to starving 3rd world countries...organic does nothing (except rape your wallet).
