Reduced exposure to pesticide residue and antibiotic-resistant bacteria sounds like a good thing. Don't forget pesticides may build up in the body over time.
Organic meat and dairy will also contain less medicine (antibiotics) residue - garbage in, garbage out also goes for milk and egg producing animals, and pesticide build up in meat (pesticide sprayed fodder) will end up in your body when you eat meat.
All this not taking into account the environmental effects of the use of pesticides, herbicides, chemical fertilizers, medications for cattle and pigs (that will, through their manure, eventually leave residues in the soil) that probaby will cause problems for the generations to come. Organic is better all round (but very, very expensive, alas). |
