Organic Food
…
Should we only live on organic food? …
1. Organic farming is environmentally-friendly
because:
the use of chemical pesticides and
fertilizers is minimal, if any.
no super-insects
are created by
pesticides.
it keeps animals healthy. There would
be far fewer sick or infertile aquatic
and land creatures due to chemical
exposure.
there would be no soil erosion or water
contamination.
2. Compared to non-organic food, organic food
contains
little hydrogenated fat, which can
lead to heart diseases.
3. Organic farming is animal-friendly. It will
ensure that animals are given a free-range
condition and provided with natural diet.
4. Organic food often has higher nutritional
value compared to conventional food. This
might be due to the absence of fertilizers
and pesticides, which allows plants to
produce phytochemicals
to boost resistance
against weeds and bugs.
5. Organic foods taste better as foods often
lose their natural taste in the process of
genetic modification.
6. It is far healthier as chemicals, which are
used in
the form of pesticides and
fertilizers, would not enter your body.
YES
1. Compared to non-organic food, organic
produce usually goes bad far faster
because:
it does not contain any form of
preservatives.
it does not undergo any irradiation
procedures.
2. Organic food is more expensive than non-
organic food.
3.
Even
organic food
production requires a
small amount of chemicals. So what is the
point?
4. There are no consensual reports that link
organic food to health benefits.
5.
Non-organic foods are just as nutritious as
organic ones.
6. The bacteria (e.g. E. coli) level is higher in
organic produce, which can be harmful for
children as well as pregnant
women as they
have vulnerable immune systems.
