Do you buy them? Will you refuse to buy conventional if organic isn't available, broadly or on a per product basis?

I confess I've always blown off organic foods as kinda silly (unless you've got a sensitivity to whatever's in the conventional stuff) in large part due to overlap with GMO panic. Still, as we hear more about microplastics and harmful chemicals showing up in most everything I've been wondering if it'd be good for my long term health to be an organic andrew

    The only time I specifically seek out organic products is if I'm looking for something that contains sugar, and even then, it's dependent on what product I'm seeking out itself. For me, this concern stems from veganism. Sometimes, it's impractical, so I don't adhere to this as an "absolute" rule in a sense, but I'm uncomfortable with not being careful about sugar because of the bone char used in processing refined sugar.
