One man's 3-year experiment in eating organic food - all the time

My Reactions:

According to Tara Parker-Pope in “One man’s 3 – year experiment in eating organic food - all the time,” Dr. Alan Greene was inspired to be 100 percent organic after knowing that livestock got sick less by a switch to organic practices. He wanted to know whether becoming organic might improve his health or not. Therefore, he has insisted on eating organic foods everyday for three years.

In my opinion, the organic routine is not easy to hold out because organic foods are more expensive than conventional foods. Consumers always have to pay higher costs to buy organic products and it stops people from trying organic foods. As it has been available in many places, people can buy it easily and that is why it is becoming more and more popular. For me, I will choose to eat organic foods because there are lots of advantages. Organic food means that crops were grown without the use of pesticides and artificial fertilizers. People believe that organic fruit and vegetables contain up to 40% more antioxidants than conventional food. Besides, it is also said to benefit the environment since the organic farms use less energy and produce less waste.
