Organic foods are grown without pesticides, chemical fertilizers and genetically altered seeds. It takes a few years to prepare soil to produce quality organic crops and get certified organic. This is were most of the extra cost comes from plus natural composting, natural pesticides and applying them is more expensive than chemical fertilizers
If you are very sensitive, as in allergic, they are a godsend. Nutritionally, there is little difference. Leaf vegetables that are organically grow are the best value (more surface area to retain pesticides). Hydroponic vegetables that use chemical fertilizers and no pesticide are similarly hypoallergenic.
So yes, they can be worth the money.
Would you be willing to share what you typically eat in one day? Include beverages with the exclusion of water.
