“The health of man, beast, plant and soil is one indivisible whole”

The findings of the FSA literature review are causing dismay and concern.
Is the organic food industry, which we at VegBox Recipes have long been supporters of, about to be crippled by consumers responding to the reports with their wallets?
Will the study mean, as the FSA seem to hope, that more people will eat their five a day if they no longer feel compelled to eat fruit and veg only if it’s organic, which they feel [accurately or otherwise] is too expensive?
Here is a bit more detail on the FSA findings, including some clarity on whether the study addressed pesticide contamination, our run down of reasons people eat organic, and an opportunity for you to tell us and each other what your reaction is to the report.
We will continue to seek out and eat organic whenever we can.
Thanks so much for your response, Gustoso … Can you say a bit about why you still think it’s important to eat organic food?
Rather than repeat myself, I wrote a post about the importance of being organic: http://gustoso.wordpress.com/2009/06/18/being-organic/
