Just in between: If we look at the starting point of the animals (pigs, cow, chicken, etc.) there is of course no doubt that organic products / food are a lot better for you. When I write in the article below “non-organic food is better” this is from the premise for humans.

It can be clearly seen that the differences are large. Despite the fact that there are more advantages and disadvantages associated with organic products, it appears that 95% of all Dutch people still buy non-organic food /

When the price between non-organic and organic food is the same, the majority of the Dutch population will switch to organic food. In 2006, Minister Veerman of Agriculture, Nature and Food Quality wanted to find out under what circumstances people are prepared to switch to organic food.
-
They were looking for the limit what the consumer wanted to pay as much as extra to switch to organic food.
-
The survey showed that consumers are willing to pay 15% to 20% more for organic food.
-
When the research started, a lot of the organic products on the shelves became a lot cheaper. Besides the fact that sales have increased, sales have also grown.

For example, a study has come to light that claims that organic foods interfere with the "weight loss process". There are also people who are allergic to certain organic products.
