Organic Vs. Non-Organic

A while back there was an article online about organic versus non-organic food and one of the comments left by someone claimed that organic farm practices are harmful to the environment ....

Hmmm, so for thousands of years, human beings have been doing more harm then good when engaging in agriculture!? As opposed to the plethora of pesticides, herbicides, insecticides, fungicides, GMO's, hormones, and antibiotics that have proliferated over the last century of human development which is less harmful to the environment?!

Putting that tirade aside, I wanted to conduct a taste test between organic and non-organic bananas and luckily Superstore carried the same brand of banana; Del Monte

Hands down the organic banana was more creamy, smooth, and flavorful as compared to the non-organic banana.

This difference in taste also applies to organic versus non-organic red delicious apples.

I can't speak to nutrition though, which the aforementioned article stated that there is no difference between organic versus non-organic.

I hope to conduct more organic versus non-organic taste tests in the future!
