Do you buy them? Will you refuse to buy conventional if organic isn't available, broadly or on a per product basis?

I confess I've always blown off organic foods as kinda silly (unless you've got a sensitivity to whatever's in the conventional stuff) in large part due to overlap with GMO panic. Still, as we hear more about microplastics and harmful chemicals showing up in most everything I've been wondering if it'd be good for my long term health to be an organic andrew

Do you buy them

fuck no, organic is more expensive for the same bullshit farming practices, they're not doing anything fundamentally different (if they're doing anything different), just swapping one pesticide for another based on bunkum panic around 'synthetic' substances. you shouldn't give a fuck if something was made "in a lab" or nature, nature is full of stuff that gives you cancer and kills you
