IF you're like me, you have stood dazed and confused in the produce section of the supermarket wondering whether it is worth the money to spend the extra $3 on the organic apples or buy the cheaper Granny Smith's on a nearby counter. What exactly are we paying extra for? Is organic food that much healthier for us and the environment? And how do we know for sure that this expensive organic apple was grown any differently than the lower-priced version?
FOR meat products to be considered organic, the animal must be given a certain amount of space to live, access to outdoors, quality of air and quality organic feed (no genetically engineered feed). Organic animals are not fed antibiotics or growth hormones or other artificial drugs. If an animal's life is at risk, they are given antibiotics...

As [Michael Specter] says, "Unless data fits neatly into an already formed theory, a denialist doesn't really see it as data at all.
Specter describes how some public-health investigators have required protection from angry anti-vaccine protesters. The U.S. National Institute of Health spends over $100 million annually for research into "Complementary and Alternative Medicine."
