Making me not wanna eat anything lol…

In seriousness does this mean I’m ok to buy the regular broccoli at the store next time?

Broccoli seems to be covered in something that is heat sensitive. I like to wash with boiling water.
Yes.
You do you. Me personally? I never buy organic if I can avoid it, to the point of, in the very very rare cases when organic is cheaper, I have still sometimes bought conventional.
Why tho?
Mostly a principled (although admittedly near totally useless) stand against exactly the kind of issue talked about in this article. The organic label, as it is used in the US, is basically BS marketing bordering on misinformation. I prefer that my one, tiny, consumer signal goes in the direction of not supporting that BS marketing label.
