Frozen vegetables — yikes — will typically preserve their nutrients more than fresh ones, of whatever organic or nonorganic stripe.

If you freeze organic vegetables, they cease to be organic. And here we've been living a lie for the past seven years when we could have been paying attention to the Giant Brains on the right.
This twit also defines careful shopping, conservative pundit style:
Well, this is one gal who "thinks" it's just fine to buy lots of cheap, luscious-looking produce from the conventionally-farmed-food aisles at the grocery.
Note that it's "luscious-looking" she's talking about. You'd think that if you're buying food you'd want to find food that *tastes* good and to hell with the looks of it, but maybe that's just me. How silly to assume that anyone would care about the quality of their food when they could get a greater (and prettier) quantity of massively subsidized wax and plastic instead.
I'd suspect that the fruit in that household sits on the countertop for weeks at a time while the snackfood (all hydrogenated oils, of course; the teeny detail that hydrogenated oils are poisonous pales in comparison to being able to buy more of it) evaporates off the shelf.
And the funny thing is that when I visit parts of the country where there aren't many organics around (I'm thinking, in horror, of going to the grocery stores at the North Carolina beach) the non-organic fruits™ and vegetables© cost at least as much as I pay for organic stuff here in Portland. Sure, I can get thirty-seven hundred different types of extruded snack product and die-cast breakfast food, but it's surprisingly difficult to follow a non-greasy diet down there on any sort of a budget. And, to make matters embarrassing, the peaches I could get at those stores (stores which are located less than 150 miles away from a part of the state where you can't turn a corner without encountering yet another farm stand that sells North Carolina peaches) are shipped in from California.
And they don't taste very good, either. They look very pretty, if wax fruit is your platonic ideal, but if that's your ideal then going out and getting real wax fruit will be cheaper and it won't spoil. But then I'm not a conservative pundit, so my opinions are not to be trusted.
