Unpopular opinion: Organic food is a waste of money

Some folks say organic is healthier, but regular produce tastes fine and saves cash. Do you buy organic or stick with the regular stuff?

That bit about pesticides is my main worry too. Honestly, some of those chemicals are pretty nasty and they stick around in the soil and water. That's why I'll pay extra for organic on certain things like berries or leafy greens.

Plus they build up in our bodies over time.
