Yes organic is more expensive. There is no denying that just as there is no denying the health risks associated with eating non organic strawberries. Most are unaware that non organic strawberries are one of the most chemically contaminated fruits you can buy. Why Because farmers apply two chemicals to every crop a pesticide to protect the fruit from insects and a fungicide to protect the roots from fungus. Both the pesticide and the fungicide contain chemicals that have been linked to breast cancer in woman and to a 50 reduction in sperm count in men. By eating organic strawberries you can substantially reduce your exposure to these risks. The author goes on to say that organic food is hard to find. This is simply not true. All you have to do is go to your local grocery store and you will find organic food. Many of the bigger stores for example even have organic sections. Not only that but Wal-Mart now offers a wide variety of organic produce. In fact I buy a lot of organic products at Wal-Mart such as milk and cottage cheese and yes even organic rice. As for non organic versus organic milk of course there s no difference in taste. Why should there be The whole point of organic milk is not to change the taste but to eliminate pesticides and other man-made chemicals from the milk production process. A big part of that process is the genetically engineered growth hormone rBGH. Farmers give their cows rBGH which in turn makes the cows produce far more milk than is naturally possible. Worse rBGH stays in the milk and enters your body when you drink it. Moreover research has linked rBGH to colon breast and prostate cancer. In the end buying organic is an investment in your health. Personally I don t mind paying a little extra. At least I know what I m eating. 350 - Audio Scripts Task 5 - Funding Space Exploration Look how can anyone talk about .
