Organic foods aren't grown with the pesticides, chemicals, growth stimulants and bioengineering, all of which are very bad for your body. Many organic foods just plain taste better and have more flavor as well. But, prices can be much higher for organic. If you have the means, definitely eat as much organically grown as you can.

Greens grown by organic methods will usually have somewhat lower levels of nitrates in the leaves. These are compounds that can be converted to carcinogenic nitrites either within your body or by bacterial action in food left out at room temperature.
