But to be honest the main reason I do it is because it tastes so much better. Carrots actually test of carrot rather than crunchy water taste you get from a standard supermarket carrot.
That's nothing to do with the fact that they are organic. The reason organic food tastes better is because it is a premium product. The farmers grow more tasty varieties which have lower yields, and they do other things like reduce the time from field to market (which you can more easily do for lower volumes), sell them with stalks on etc. etc. You could get better yields from the same crop by using pesticides to reduce loss, but still do all the other things that make it a premium product. It would then taste as good as organic produce but could be made cheaper. For a long time there wasn't much of a market for this but many supermarkets are beginning have premium varieties from non-organic sources, and they taste good.
My parents have always grown their own vegetables and they use every spray under the sun to fight pests and regularly fertilise. The fact is that their produce tastes better than even the organic stuff from the supermarket, simply because it is even more of a premium product in that it is only harvested minutes before use!
Space debris could be very catastrophic, but the chances of being hit by it are still miniscule (compared to say a launch failure or being killed on the way to the launch pad).

Strange that this is called a "Swiss Flame" when the article suggests the lighter won't work above 1500m. That's half the Swiss Alps out of range then.
