One interesting thing to keep in mind. Organic farming tastes better. It's well-known that the subtle chemicals involved in taste often have anti-oxidant effects (at least, I THINK that's what "bio- flavinoids" are). The claim that there's no health difference between the old ways and the new is rather bogus, IMHO.
