Is it worth paying for organic foods?

News today saying studies show organic produce has little if any additional nutritional quality. Even better taste is disputed by research. Yet supermarkets selling consumers organic foods for the dinner table is a big industry. People may say there are environmental benefits through not using artificial pesticides.
Do you pay extra for organic produce? what do you like about them?

I'm sick and tired of you always asking questions and never giving an opinion. It's a discussion forum, not a place to get cheap opinions for whatever research you're doing. If you want opinions for your employers, stump up the readies.
If I'd known you'd started the thread I'd never have come in here.
Is there some hidden agenda to kiwi's posts then ?
Never thought it actually gave 'health benefits'. A carrot's a fucking carrot. It might have more or less bugs, more or less pesticide, more or less knobly. But at heart, it's still a fucking carrot !
We all know oragnic food was created to make people in Chelsea feel good and spend less on cocaine !
She looked a bit shocked when presented with the recent report findings :P
I just wonder why people think there would be more nutrients in organic food, less crap perhaps, but the same if not less nutrients surely?
Some of us think so.
If you look through Kiwi's other posts then you'll find a high proportion of opinion panel type questions that sound a lot like they're surveying for opinion rather than getting involved in discussion.
AH right. Thanks
So I have a reputation then- who started it
What is your opinion on the matter then?
Personally, as long as the food fills me up and tastes good I don't mind what's in it.
I like the down to Earth attitude to food shopping and cooking. Organic food wasn't just created to make Chelsea folks feel good- but more important to increase supermarket profits
Go fuck yourself you stupid cunt. I was asking a question not making a statement. Wanker.
ETA - Nothing constructive to say. Did you not read my 2nd post ? O.K. you might not be a cunt but you're definitely fucking stupid.
What kind of muppet are you ? You come onto a discussion board asking for opinions then either don't read them or slag off the people that do leave them. Are you in a secure institution ?
See. To some people humour is like Concorde - way over their heads.
Roffles I usually am, but if some dipstick is going to slag me off, EVEN WHEN I GIVE THEM MY OPINION WHICH THEY ASK FOR, it fucks me off.
So why did you quote me ?
You make a quote then a statement - ergo you're making a statement about that poster DUHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Roffles. Do you work for Road Wars ? Section 5 of the Public Order Act isn't it ?
No need to give a warning anymore ... ARREST HIM !!
Interesting how on this forum I've caught a reputation......not alway that bad if all my forum activity was considered
Toast for Breakfast and I don't think that's organic!
Don't know about food but thinking something is better for you than something else works with medicines.
On one of Proff. Regans' shows they did a simple experiment about branded medication.
People were given the choice of their preferred medicationin a brand. Panadol - paracetamol, Anadin - aspirin and Nurofen - ibuprofen then timed as to see how long they could keep their hand in a tank of iced water until it became too painful.
They then did the same experiment but with generic versions of the drugs and the people kept their hands in the water for up to 25% less of the time than with the branded drugs.
It was then revealed that the generic drugs were infact the branded variety, proving (quite simplisticly but backing up other research) that the belief that something is better for you than something similar can work.
Well all you do is post questions repeatedly as if you are doing research for something.
Some.
For me, the 32p ibuprofen from Sainsburys' works just as well as the £2.79p Nurofen.
