What the fuck do we need organic food for?

Something I was thinking about recently.

Organic foods are supposed to be more nutritious and contain more vitamins studies say.

People living on a normal vestern diet already take in WAY more vitamins than we need, not to mention nutrients in general, most people are to fucking fat anyway and excess vitamins are simply discarded by your body.

So what the fuck is the point of paying 200% more for food which supposedly contains more of what you don't need? Only malnutrioned people in 3rd world contries would benefit from it, but they sure as fuck can't afford it.

And no, "organic" food doesn't taste better, food that are grown properly, and animals that are taken care of properly taste better, it has nothing to do with being organic.
