This is not entirely true. Organic food is quite pricey, and is catered to the high end. Good old fashioned, genetically enhanced, pesticide protected food is equally nutritious and a lot cheaper. I often buy the organic stuff at whole foods because it IS higher quality, but the reason has nothing to do with organics being inherently better and all to do with greater care put in for greater price returns.

I'm afraid is rather early to make any extrapolations on this. I'm slightly older than you are and I don't recall food being 'better for me' in the late 70's and 80's than anything available today. If anything we were more likely to be fed extra sugar as sugar free alternatives were pretty new, and fresh produce was harder to find.
