I disgree. It may not technically be "healthier" ie more vitamins etc, but it comes without the harmful chemicals and pesticides assuming its properly labeled of course.

They focused on traditional fertilizer vs. synthetic fertilizer and ignored GMOs. Plus their own graphic showed that eating non-organic food, you're 33% more likely to be eating pesticide residue.

I dont go out of my way to buy organic, but i do buy pesticide free produce at the farmers market. Am I 100% sure? No. But Ive been buying from the same people for over ten years and their pride in what they sell speaks volumes.

Edit- I should be packing a Geiger counter these days.

Thankfully people dumb enough to believe this garbage will win the Darwin Award.
