Are Organic Foods As Yummy As The Labels Say?



No.

But people are stupid as dirt.
You have to read the labels, but is "organic" a way to just fool your taste buds? A new study shows that the organic label spurns a perception that items are lower in fat, higher in fiber, significantly lower in calories and worth more money according to participants.

The study included 144 volunteers who were asked to compare what they believed were conventionally and organically produced chocolate sandwich cookies, plain yogurt and potato chips. All of the products were actually organic, but they were labeled as either "regular" or "organic."

Researchers from Cornell University found that participants preferred almost all of the taste characteristics of the foods labeled as "organic," even though they were identical to those labeled as "regular."
Apparently, they have organic s**t for brains.
