  Earliest humans and humanoids ate organic. Organic food has been around for many millenniums.

  Yes, non-organic fruits and veggies are still good foods.

  Non-Organic foods are bad for you because of all the pesticides and chemical fertilizers that are sprayed on to the fruit and veg. Battery farming is bad for you too, if it comes cheap its battery farmed, instead of feeding the animals to make them fat and juicy they are only fed once a day and are injected with water to make them fat. However organic foods are far better for you than non-organic because they use natural fertilizers, manure, and all the animals are fed three times a day instead of once, so organic foods are far better for you than non-organic.

  The organic farming movement was started in the late 1940’s by Robert Rodale in response to the growing chemical input use on farms.

  There was also a German man named Rudolph Steiner who created the biodynamic farming trend when he wrote his 22 agricultural lectures around 1923 (which are required reading if you want to get your farm certified biodynamic)

  Both of these men really looked into natural/biological farming and how it works.

  Certified organic came into being around 1979 in the USA but there was no national program so each sytate and in some cases region had it’s own organic certifier with their own regulations. In 2002 the USDA created the National Organic Program (NOP) and that is the set of rules all organic farms follow today

  There is a growing body of science that says organic foods are better for you and synthetic ‘cides are very, very toxic to all life.
