What’s Happening To Our Organic Food?

My daughter called with an interesting question the other day. It seems she was talking with a group of friends about the benefits of eating organic. She stated we as a family made the switch years ago and eat organic wherever possible. Her friends didn’t see the value in it, and thought nothing was wrong with non-organic.
