Organic food grows in popularity
The USDA seems to back up Stych's claim. Although the department certifies organic foods, it has found no evidence to suggest that organic food is safer to eat or that it contains more nutrition than conventional food. In short, an organic apple is just as nutritious as a conventional apple.
This is not a grammar or usage mistake, but it just doesn't make enough sense as it could. The writer is saying that organic food has not be found to be healthier than regular food. So, the last sentence should read: "A conventional apple is just as nutritious as an organic apple." Otherwise, it sounds like the nutrition of the organic apple has been doubted, instead of the other way around.
