Why buy organic vs. regular?!


Question: price


Answers: price

Simple Rule, If you can not pronounce it do not eat it.

I buy organic because my 9 year old and I can both read the ingredient labels. Who knows what all that other crap is? We'd rather avoid it.

Cancer-causing pesticides aren't used on organic foods. I think that's the best reason.

I have news for you. Regular is no worse than organic. The only difference is the price and people who buy organic think they're doing something good for the environment.

You're also more likely to contract e.coli from "organically grown" vegetables than you are for regular.

1) it tastes better
2)no pesticides/fungicides are allowed to be used
3)when it comes to flesh or fowl mostly free range, but fish
is usually farmed meaning it is fed organic pellets
4)mostly humane treatment of the animal
5)price is determined by production costs and smaller turn
over, although if you buy from roadside stalls or farmers
markets price is comparable to regular.
As for E-Coli all you need is to cook things properly.

Everyone says that eating organic food is better for you because it has all natural ingredients and the food is made and grown without the use of chemicals. I personally think that my whole life growing up, until a few years ago, there was very little organic food. So, all those years I ate non-organic food, it never killed me or made me sick, so I think I am just sticking to the regular food, especially when I am on a budget and organic food is much more expensive. However, it really comes down to what each person feels.

I would love to buy organic food and milk because it is better for you,but it is so expensive too! That is why I have to buy regular foods and milk because it is alot more affordable and alot easier to find in the stores than organic foods and milk are!
