Health Checkup: Who Needs Organic Food?

Organic Hampshire pork from Bensmiller's Farm, Iowa, vs. Farmland Natural supermarket pork loin from D'Agostino

April Bloomfield, the Spotted Pig

"You can tell just by looking at this [organic pork] — the way fat runs through the meat, and the texture of it — how good it's going to taste. I mean, it just has so much flavor. It's wild, almost a little gamey. It's a larger loin and has much more juiciness and flavor. [The supermarket pork] didn't taste like anything, kind of watery. All you could taste was salt. The texture was pretty tough. There was no sweetness to it. It has no porkiness; it's pretty generic tasting."

Winner: Organic
