Organic Food

What I know about organic food is that the food is all natural. There are no pesticides in organic food. Organic food is not processed. I have always heard that eating organic can give you a healthier lifestyle. I have eaten organic food a few times and it did not taste any different than processed foods to me. I did think that eating organic food is a healthier way to eat but now I am not so sure about that. I see in the supermarket all the time where organic food is located, having labels on food stating that it is organic and untampered with but I do not believe that it is true. Just because the labels on the food say  that it is organic and untampered with does not mean that it’s true. I don’t think that people should trust everything that is said on the labels. I have seen on the news once that the FDA approved the labels of food, which the food was supposedly organic, being sold in groceries, and soon proven to be non-organic. So who knows if all the foods in the supermarket considered organic really is organic. We can't trust what the FDA says about food since it seems like all they do is lie and it seems that they just approve these companies food without even testing their food to make sure that it really is what they say it is. Also,I have seen on the news a lot lately that organic food is not any better for you than processed food which is something that I had always believed. I know that organic food is considered healthier since it is said that it does not include additives that are in processed food. Organic food is known to be providing people with more nutrients but honestly who really knows that for sure. I don’t think organic food is worth the money. Why should people have to pay more for food that is supposedly better for you which can’t even be proven to be healthier? I think organic food is a waste of money. Some organic foods are too expensive.Not everyone can afford to buy organic food so they have to go buy processed food since it is a lot cheaper.

  1. I agree with you. I don't think there's a significant difference between organic and not organic. People just want to believe that they are having a better food for themselves. Now, all I can see on organic food is commercial.

  2. I agree with too, how can we trust the labels? I think if we want to be healthy we just have to control what we eat. We should eat more vegetables and fruit..
