50. Organic food can use pesticides

From defn, at Wiki:

Organic foods are foods produced by organic farming. While the standards differ worldwide, organic farming in general features cultural, biological, and mechanical practices that foster cycling of resources, promote ecological balance, and conserve biodiversity. Synthetic pesticides and chemical fertilizers are not allowed, although certain organically approved pesticides may be used under limited conditions. In general, organic foods are also not processed using irradiation, industrial solvents, or synthetic food additives.

And under testing, organic has been found to be not significantly more healthy than normal food.

Myself, sometimes I buy organic, if it isn't too expensive and it looks good.

But there really does not seem to be all the benefits that are claimed. As for pesticides, I hope people make sure that they wash their organic vegetables, just like they would normal food.

And if you don't think that the organic label is big business, than you have not paid attention at your local grocers.
