Home grown carrots taste, well, like carrots. Potatoes fresh dug from the allotment or garden taste wonderful. I would have no need for meat if I could have home grown veg all year round.

I have to say, though, that organically (I always think that is grammatically correct!) grown carrots from supermarkets taste no different to the non organically grown.

I think we're being conned. I have to economise anyway, now, since I lost my job :(

I think this report is stating the bleeding obvious! I don't buy organic carrots because they are nutritionally better than non-organic, I buy them because I think they taste better and they are not full of pesticides!

Sorry,I think Organic food is far better:-))

Home grown veg without any pesticides has to be better, and a few bugs for protein.YUMMY!!

LONDON (Reuters) – Organic food has no nutritional or health benefits over ordinary food, according to a major study published Wednesday.

Researchers from the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine said consumers were paying higher prices for organic food because of its perceived health benefits, creating a global organic market worth an estimated $48 billion in 2007.

A systematic review of 162 scientific papers published in the scientific literature over the last 50 years, however, found there was no significant difference.

"A small number of differences in nutrient content were found to exist between organically and conventionally produced foodstuffs, but these are unlikely to be of any public health relevance," said Alan Dangour, one of the report's authors.

"Our review indicates that there is currently no evidence to support the selection of organically over conventionally produced foods on the basis of nutritional superiority
