Too many? I have yet to meet a local-grown organic all-natural afficionado who wasn't convinced this means they are automagically eating healthy and safe produce [and possibly saving small underdog farmers' lives] to boot.

Very few people realise that most (or at least a lot) of the time organic and all-natural is just a marketing ploy.

There are three types of people in the world: those that aren't convinced that organic is safer and eat traditional, those that are convinced but don't care/can't afford organic and eat traditional, and those that eat organic -- and are convinced.

That is, nobody eats organic that isn't convinced of its benefits -- why else would they opt for the more costly of the two?
