This is what the Germans really think of organic

It is a widespread assumption: organic foods are healthier than traditional foods. The federal citizens, however, don't believe it so readily. A majority does not think organic foods are healthier at all.

That is the result of a recent survey of the opinion-research institute Emnid for BILD am SONNTAG:

Thus, 53 percent of the respondents do not believe that organic foods are better than foods without the organic seal.

Acceptance of organic foods is greater in women (47 percent) than in men (40 percent).

Astonishingly: Nevertheless, the greater majority of Germans are willing to pay more for foods that stem from animals that were raised in a manner appropriate to the species. For 90 percent of respondents, this is a more acceptable reason for higher prices, and for 10 percent it is not.
