Camire Interviewed for Organic Produce Article

University of Maine professor of food science and human nutrition Mary Ellen Camire was interviewed for an article in the Portland Press Herald about a study on organic fruits and vegetables. The study found little nutritional difference between organic and nonorganic produce, but Camire, along with others interviewed for the story, said most consumers who buy organic do so to avoid pesticides and chemicals used on most traditional, nonorganic farms.
