    Not all organic growers use pesticides.

    The reason you buy organic is for the health of the farmworkers and the environment, its not a selfish decision for the consumer’s own health

      Fun fact: Organic production is worse for the environment overall.

      It’s less damaging per hectare under cultivation, but more hectares are required to produce the same yield. So it’s more damaging per kg of production.
