Organic food vs Inorganic food

      Eating organic is very beneficial to your health, your not only getting all the nutrients you need, but also your not ingesting all the pesticides and chemical fertilizers that farmers put into their produce.  Organic farmers use traditional ways to grow their produce without using any chemical fertilizers or growth hormones to advance and grow the foods we eat.  People buy organic foods because their are no additives added, no pesticides and because of environmental reasons, organic practices are designed to benefit the environment, reducing pollution, conserving water and soil quality.  Although organic foods are a bit more expensive because of the labor that goes into it, you can taste the difference between the organics and the inorganic.  For example a tomato from a regular grocery store is different from the tomatoes that you might grow at home.  The inorganic tomato at the grocery store is bigger, perfect looking, it taste a bit more sour, while the organic tomato is more red, a lot smaller, not as perfect looking but you can taste the natural tomato flavor, it's sweeter and softer.  You can taste the difference between organic foods and inorganic foods, I personally think that organic foods taste much better than inorganic foods.  Many people are eating more organic foods and many grocery stores have an organic section, where they sell all different types of organic and healthy food.  Here in Cedar Rapids the Newbo Market in downtown sell fresh local grown organic vegetables and fruits that you may like, they are delicious and healthy.

      If some organic foods are harder to find in your cities, you can grow your own fruits and veggies.  Growing your own fruits and veggies, you know exactly what your doing to what your going to be eating, and it's less expensive.  If your going to plant your own veggies and fruits make sure you know what kind of fruits and vegetables are suitable for a certain season.  You wouldn't want to grow tomatoes in the fall because they're not suitable for the weather.       Whether your eating inorganic foods or organic foods it's important to know what exactly are you eating and always remember to read the labels CAREFULLY, sellers would try to get you to buy the words even if they have to twist their words around.  All natural does not mean organic, all natural assures you of a little organic,  tells you you’re buying food made without the use of toxic persistent pesticides, GMOs, antibiotics, or artificial growth hormones.  In order for a food to be organic the food was made with a set of farming and production practices defined and regulated, in great detail, by the USDA.
