The OP's original question was "why organic". Those of us who believe in using organics responded to say why. I hope this thread gets shut down as it has instead become a place to argue. I have Multiple Sclerosis. Since using only organic products and abstaining from meat, my MRI has shown 38 fewer lesions on my brain. That's my evidence. I don't think anyone here is going to convince anyone else to change their mind, but my mind has literally been changed.
