Organic food is literally designed for you to eat. Processed food turns your body into crap which will degrade into the ground sooner rather than later.
I’m not a religious or health nut (although they are delicious) … my point is that the fewer steps your food has to take to get to you eating it is way better than most things you buy in a box/can/plastic container.
When I’m hunting, baby, I’m THE fucking predator. I jump on my prey from behind and clench my teeth and expunge their vainy throat. My body loves that.
You have no idea where I grew up … I’m Indigenous Canadian and for about the first 12 years of my life mom and dad fed us about 60-70% of our diet was wild food (goose, duck, moose, caribou, fish, beaver, rabbit, fox, marten, wolf, bear and small birds … not to mention wild vegetables, herbs and berries). Dad was a trapper and since we couldn’t afford expensive store bought food, mom was an expert in preparing, preserving and managing wild food supplies. Dad sold the furs, mom processed the meat … some of it was disgusting but it was all we could afford to eat at times. Some of it was delicious - smoked fish packed with seasalt is like candy. I can safely say that my high protein diet as a child saved me from malnutrition. There were other families like mine around me with parents that weren’t good hunters and gatherers and relied heavily on processed, canned and boxed foods … the majority of those people died early deaths from heart disease, diabetes and gastrointestinal cancers.
Most “organic” food you can buy is entirely man-made, and never came into existence naturally. I would almost argue that 10,000 years of farming and cultivation has been humans processing nature itself for our benefit.
As far as evidence goes, this is not particularly compelling. It’s a bit like when someone has an anecdote of their chain-smoking 90-year old grandmother - yes, outliers exist, but at a population-level, both smoking and eating ultra-processed foods is not a good idea.

Found the creationist.
Have you ever been to an organic farm?

Tell that to Donald Trump. Some of the unhealthiest and most mentally unwell people live the longest.
Except he has doctors that most of us will never afford. They probably pump vitamins and young girls blood into his veins.
