Organic food myths busted: Why you might be wasting money on "healthier" options

The quote narrows down the notion of “healthy” to such a tiny box, almost as small as micronutrients, some might say.
As others have already mentioned, people generally mean something much broader when they say they do something because it’s “healthier.” I know I’m not the only one who thinks in tiers: healthier for me, healthier for the workers who grew and harvested it for me, healthier for the soil, etc.
Kind of a side note, but amidst all the national talk about food prices rising, I’ve noticed that the prices for my local, mostly organic groceries have stayed pretty much level. So that’s something…healthier for the economy?
