Article claims little evidence of health benefits from organic produce - OK

There may be something to this when regarding the fact that many organic foods are grown exactly the same way as non-organic, just without the chemicals.  I have seen some incredibly damaging organic farming outfits.  If something is grown in a monoculture pulse with depleted soils it can be nearly as damaging and unhealthy as production agriculture.  If the soil is depleted and damaged the food is probably not going to be that healthy.  The part I find especially interesting is a comment that another blogger made "Do a tiny amount of digging, about 10 mintues worth, and you find an excessive amount of crossover and revolving doors between Castlight and (wait for it...) Monsanto Company."  Go figure right?
