That is pay for results.

For nutrition value, convention produce is better than
production organic produce as organic production produce
has to be picked much greener. Also, production
organic produce does not really take great care of their
soil. Better than conventional, but not a lot. Often
production organic is grown on deplete soil.

On the other hand, honest tests were not done on locally
grown organic where produce is allowed to ripen properly
and the soil is also nurtured properly. Believe it
or not, soil is alive.

It all depends on who pays for the study. Enough money
and you can make that study say anything you want.

What I will say is that home grown organic and locally
grown organic tastes a hell of a lot better than conventional
production produce. And my theory is that people don't
eat their vegies because they taste like crap.

Think of all the pay for results studies on red meat
where they do not differentiate an oscar meyer hot dog
from organic grass fed beef. You could as easily say
all the health problems in these studies were caused
by hamburger bums.
