Help answer this question below.
Because there are a million steps you have to take in order to get "organic certified" It is a lengthy and costly project, thus passing the costs on to the customers.
because it's more expensive to raise cattle naturally then just herd them all in a pen, and beef em up with chemicals
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.
Because the stores are greedy and the word profiteering comes to mind
It's better for you (or so they say). Why is fruit and veggies so much higher or lean meat..cause it's better for you. I have never eaten it and don't plan to..I am just guessing
It's very Labor intensive to have someone clean the animals "Stalls" for "Fertilizer" & then pick the "Bugs" off the plants. John
