In the end, safety standards aren't about if they make you fat or make you hit puberty earlier.  The safety standards are about if foods aren't treated properly and can literally poison you, cause death, or something of a similar caliber. 

Putting manmade chemicals in our cattle and crops surely can't be good for us. I say go organic all the way. 

Based on what?  There are so many "manmade chemicals" that we put in our bodies that we believe are good.  What do you think medicine is?  What do you think candy is?  What do you think goes into our water?  There's also a LOT of problems if you wanted to force the country to go 100% organic.  I would suggest you read the book called The Omnivore's Dilemma so it can help you understand a bit more what some of the issues are.
