Organic produce has fewer pesticide residues than conventional grown produce- but the amounts for both types of produce are within the safe level as far as consumption goes. But it is unclear if natural pesticides used in organic farming are safer than synthetic pesticides used in coventional farming they say. Also there are a few synthetic substances used for organic growing that are approved.

My understanding of organic food is food that was raised without chemicals whether it is an animal or plant. Farms normally use chemical insecticides and chemical fertilizers to hasten the growth of their crops and also to protect from pests. Poultry and animal raisers give antiobiotic drugs to their animals to give it protection from diseases and I believe they also give vitamin pills. When you say organic, the food is raised without those artificial means of growing. Just like cattle that feed on grass only, no vitamins, no antibiotic.

Organic Food are Veggies, Fruits, and Meats grown without using chemical fertilizer and hormone laden feeds. In the case of chicken for example, free range chicken eating organic food makes it organic chicken. In veggies, farms which grow organic vegetables doesn't use chemical fertilizers, insecticide and pesticides.

The term "Organic food" is an INDUSTRY. These industries want to sell people products to make money.

Just do not purchase highly processed foods, there's no difference between organic and regular ones. Organic or gluten-free can be even more stuffed with refined sugars, etc. All pesticides and fertilizers are still used in conventional production so that these plants can have good nutritional value.

The name alone gives you a little more information on what organic foods is all about. Organic means raw or natural, so it's those foods that are processed without the addition of chemicals and preservative like most factory products are processed. Talk about crops that are grown foods which are made available for people to consume.

Re: What is Organic Foods?

Organic food is part of the marketing strategy for the greedy entrepreneurs to obtain money from the gullible ordinary people. Still, they use pesticides and insecticides to grow organic food. It is difficult to farm organic food because these are not regularly and individually checked. So, there is no scientific evidence found that eating organic food is healthier than consuming inorganic ones.

Re: What is Organic Foods?

I agree that some businesses are using "organic food" as a sales pitch to lure health-conscious rich people. However, if the food is actually organically produced, it is very good for your body. Organic food means food grown from natural plants (not genetically modified), using natural fertilizers (no chemical fertilizers), and using natural methods to control pests and diseases.

Re: What is Organic Foods?

I consider what I grow in my Victory Garden to be organic. No pesticides, chemicals and so forth. My experience is that any vegetables that I grow always have a better flavor then what I purchase at the store.

Re: What is Organic Foods?

I am converting our backyard into a small vegetable garden to have our own supply because the price of vegetables in the market is now exorbitant. Another advantage with a vegetable garden is that it will be pure organic. My fertilizer is the compost courtesy of the earthworm and my pesticides are herbal and homemade. At least the organic vegetable is good for our health even if the effect is only psychological.
