IRRADIATION: One reason to opt for organic food is the irradiation process. All food that goes in a grocery store, except organic food, is irradiated. Irradiation is where food is zapped with ionized radiation to "cold pasteurize" the food. (This is the same as microwaving.) It is meant to kill food born pathogens due to the growing conditions of conventional food. But it also kills the good bacteria and phytonutrients in the food. Food today already lacks nutrition due to the depleted soil it is grown in. Irradiating it removes the "life" from the food. Your body cannot utilize nutrient deplete, "dead" food and treats it as a toxin (AKA: poison). Organic food is grown in safer growing conditions so it does not go through the irradiation process, keeping the "life" and nutrients in the food. To your health! (See how the U.S.government defines irradiation here: epa.gov/radiation/sources/food_irrad.html)
