What I do know is that unless you _are_ a vegetable, there's no such thing as inorganic food. :-) What defined as organic is defined in legislation in Europe. However I feel that the health effect of organic (or "ecological" as it is labelled in Norway) is overrated for many products. Scary stories like the peppers from Germany of course reinforces the good vs. bad dichotomy, but for most products I don't think the difference is that dramatic. On another note, high quality (and high price) non-organic food is competing directly with its organic counterparts. The cheap stuff is bad whether it's organic or not.
