The other side of the coin!



The other side of the coin!


Hi everyone,

 

On the second week of class I decided to write a posting about the benefits of the organic food versus non-organic food. That paragraph was written according to the article "Is organic food healthier than non-organic food?" published in the New York Times newspaper on Monday September 03, 2012. The main idea of the article was that organic foods were not healthier than non- organic foods because fruits and vegetables labeled like organic did not contain higher levels of vitamins than the conventional food. Well, today I want to show you the other side of the coin! In accordance with the article “Going organic: what is the payoff?” published in the Nutrition Action magazine on October 2012. The article states that organic food has higher levels of some nutrients than non-organic food because fruits and vegetables labeled organic do not contain chemicals or contaminants that are present in the conventional food. Therefore, the levels of vitamins and minerals are preserved in the organic foods. In conclusion, although the costumers are the only ones who make the decision about what they want to buy and how much they want to pay, they must be informed about organic and non-organic food to make smart choices in the market of food. 

This is the magazine that Ray lent me to write the present posting.
