Yes, the people who buy organic food generally believe it is superior 
nutritionally, environmentally, and better tasting.
That's not to say everyone who shops at Whole Foods believes every item 
at Whole Foods is better than every like item at Safeway however.

It may not be the root of all food evil but msg was certainly the root 
of more of my migraines than I care to recall. My SO however has no 
adverse reaction to it as most people don't.
