I don't do the shopping, my Mum always buys the non-organic stuff ( but she does sometimes buy the organic bananas). But if I go to the markets I will shop at the organic veggie shop. I can't taste the difference between organic and non-organic bananas, but I still prefer the organic ones.

We get organic meat if we can and organic fruit. I think you can really tell the difference with these foods.

Organic meat can be hugely better, but it's not usually the fact that it's organic. The chemicals and drugs that aren't used that make it organic I doubt make a huge amount of difference. The feed that makes it organic will help, but for really good meat it has to be properly freerange. That's not freerange from the supermarket. That's an animal that's lived basically free to roam a farm. You can't get that in a supermarket. Proper chicken or pork is just soooo different, the meat is even a different colour.

I don't buy organic because it's so expensive. It also has to be used really quickly because without all the chemicals it goes off.

I think organic is better...Better tasting, better for the environment, and better for your health, etc.

Meat that has roamed freely does taste very very nice.
I don't really buy organic anything, it's too expensive. My dad does grow a lot of fruit though and I practically live off that through harvesting. I also trust that a lot more than anything I could buy in a supermarket. I can actually pick it straight from the tree/vine/bush and eat it rather than having it packaged and sitting around for days.
I do shop in the local produce farm market thing in town some days as well, not really sure if they are organic.

pretty much the only advantage of organic is that you know what you're eating and this doesn't apply to meat but i'm a veggie so that doesn't bother me.

i'm pretty sure that current research shows organic food is just as rubbish (or as good) as inorganic food....as people have said they just use organic pesticides and stuff which arent necessarilly any better....just not man made!

The only organic product which IS apparently (research based) better for you is organic dairy products....which are now the only organic products we buy, if at all.

the people claiming it tastes better....well that's probably the free-range side if it's meat......i personally couldnt taste any difference in vegetables (and we did blind taste tests in my house to settle it!)

My mum buys organic... in fact she's so obsessed my dad's started calling it orgasmic. I would personally be happy either way. Having said that, she bought salmon the other day and it was such a light colour and apparently they feed non-organic salmon artificial colouring to make it more attractive to consumers. Weird non? When I'm a student there's no way I will pay the extra though. Maybe, maybe for milk (coz I can really tell the difference but even that I doubt).

My parents go organic-crazy too. I don't personally notice a difference between the two though!

I don't really think it makes a hapeth of a difference, really.

Occasionally my mum has a dr gillian fit, and buys everything organic, and we eat really well for a month or so...It doesn't really make a massive difference, although whether it does in the long term remains to be seen.

long term effects??? You're gonna die anyway.
