I would say yes. while i agree that organic doesn’t necessarily mean healthier for our body (and i question whether an organic cake is really “in disguise”-I think it’s out in the open as junk food) there are many other compelling reasons for buying organic products. for example, since they are grown without petro-chemical fertilizers and pesticides, they reduce reliance on imported oil, and mean that far less pollutants leach out of the soil and into natural habitats or our drinking water. are they the solution to all our problems? far from it! do they have certain advantages over most conventionally farmed/factory processed food?
