This is rather a difficult question: I know the benefits of organic produce to our health, but so much of it is imported that I wonder if it does more harm to the environment than good. Is is more important to buy locally- supporting my local economy, small family farms, and reduce the resources used in transporting the produce? Or is it more important to buy organics, that reduce the amount of toxins in the environment but are often shipped thousands of miles causing other forms of pollution and waste? Ideally I would buy LOCAL ORGANICS, but that is not always an option. What is your take on it?
Serious answers, please.
