Organic labelling better late than never

When I go shopping at my local health food store, I make sure I have money in the bank. The cost of organic produce is high. I often pay twice as much for organic raisins as I do for regular ones at the local supermarket. But I make the decision to spend the extra cash because I am told that organic produce is better for me. It's produced with fewer herbicides and pesticides than non-organic. Up until now, I simply took the wording on the label as true.
