Why Organic food

         Organic food is any type of food that is not chemical fertilized or the uses pesticides. In other words food that doesn’t have any chemicals used to make it grow faster or prevent any type of disease or pest. In order for organic food to actually be organic it has to have a special certification. USDA Organic is the most famous agency that gives the special certifications. Pesticides are a chemical that are used for destroying or preventing pests. Chemical fertilizers are any type of chemical that is used to increase the speed the food is growing. Organic food in the United States is the fastest growing sector of the American food industries. Eating organic food is much better for you. For a food to be organic it has to be at least 95% made out of organic food. The taste on organic food is not always different than what we call normal food. Organic food also gives you a less chance of getting cancer. It’s always good to eat vegetables and fruits. Organic food is much more expensive because the farmers take more time to make it and use only natural products. For example organic milk in order for it to be organic the cow feed has to be natural and produced without pesticides or chemical fertilizers and the milk must be milked by hand so therefore the seller sells it more expensive because they work harder to make it. Eating organic food isn’t just helping you its also helping the environment by not releasing chemicals into the air or polluting our water. Organic farmers help rural communities keep healthy and also work in harmony with nature. Organic food can help you in many ways. If you decided to use it its your choice. But if you want to get healthier eat organic food.
