      All strawberries are good for you!

      I think the best arguments for organic farming are about sustainability and environmental impact, rather than the health qualities of the food. As far as I know nobody has shown a consistent health advantage to eating organic, although sometimes vitamin levels have been shown to be higher in organic foods.

      Plant hormones, e.g. from strawberries, are organic already 🙂
