dont you think its funny that neither you nor wallstreet will answer a simply question thats been asked countless times in this thread?
yes or no, do you really think that a rotting and/or insect infested "organic" piece of fruit is the same or more healthy than a ripe "treated" piece of fruit?
the only thing worse than being ignorant is refusing to acknowledge ones ignorance when presented with factual evidence.
btw, given the evidence of all the PRESERVATIVES used in mcdonalds french fries, do you at least acknowledge that your comparison between those, and a regular french fry has no bearing on the discussion of the used of pesticides on crops?

Wrong question because you make several assumptions which are flawed.
Of course the obvious (and wrong) answer to the first bolded is "YES" but it is a flawed comment, so the answer is not applicable.
You are drawing assumptions that "treated" fruit and veggies are more healthy and that organic fruit is "rotting and infested".
That is completely wrong, why are you saying that organic= rotting/infested and pesticide sprayed= healthy?
I purchase organic veggies all the time, and Ive never had a rotten, infested piece of fruit or veggie yet..so what does this do to your weak argument?
Shelf life helps the corporation, not the individual, there is absolutely no correlation to longer shelf life and health of the fruit/veggie, in fact you could claim the exact opposite..so say you go and buy a red, shiny, waxed and sprayed apple that has a 2 week shelf life and do not properly wash and clean the pesticides and wax off the fruit, is that "healthy"? How would you be able to tell if you have removed the toxic cocktail from the fruit even if you did wash it?
There is absolutely nothing wrong with buying what you need more often and eating what you buy instead of buying food that can sit in your fridge a few days longer.
Our ancestors were able to raise their own crops or buy their foods and consume them in a timely fashion, not needing the death spray we put on large corporate fruit and veggies. If you are unable to properly buy and consume then I guess buying food that has been treated with chemicals and pesticides might be the route you want to go, I dont consider your choices to be any more healthy, in fact it is less healthy.
