I don’t see any reason why organic would have more nutrients (although it wasn’t that long ago that most organic food was from local small farms, that perhaps grew heirloom varieties and let things ripen – still, nothing about this in the USDA organic standard). But about safety, the case is exactly opposite. A priori I’d be worried about putting toxins on food. The onus is on proving that it’s safe, not the other way around.

And I really doubt organic is worse for the environment.

Mkay?

Zack is almost at the point where he can eat cheerios and little finger foods, but maybe I’ll try blending up some broccoli. I did notice the selection among the jarred foods wasn’t too hot. But since we had to wait between introductions anyway, we never really wanted for variety.

By the way, just to spite me, his favorite cereal is Earth’s Best Organic multi-grain. He will eat that fast, whereas Gerber rice is just bleh. We found this out right after I wrote my post. So maybe even if Organic isn’t “better,” that brand is tastier? Or maybe it’s that it’s whole grain. It looks more substantial.
