&gt; But then I am deeply skeptical of nutrition science in general.<p>Yeah, me too.  And I acknowledge that these studies don&#x27;t inspire confidence about health results, but I do think it&#x27;s clear that organic food (especially animal products) is very much distinguishable from orthodox food.  And it&#x27;s reasonable to be concerned about some of the chemicals present in some orthodox food but absent in organic food.<p>&gt; Moreover, if organic food had a large effect on health we would expect today&#x27;s rich kids to be substantially healthier than those of my generation, who ate Wonder Bread and Jif, but I have seen no such evidence.<p>I&#x27;m not sure that&#x27;s true - in order to properly assert this, you&#x27;d need to know that Wonder Bread and Jif had substantial quantities of pesticides that are prohibited under an organic label at the time you ate them.
