Are there any downsides to organic products?

Organic food is well-known for its many health benefits. There are however some downsides. These include higher consumer price, lower quality standards, fewer options, and fewer choice.

You can't go wrong with wanting more options when it comes grocery shopping. We have been trained to expect inferior food that tastes bad. That's why you'll find most grocery stores stocked with identical prepackaged products.
