Organic foods are raised without the use of pesticides and chemical fertilizers. They use natural things to keep the bugs away and to fertilize. Some people believe that the pesticides, etc. can be in the food (as well as on the outside) because plants absorb minerals and nutrients though their roots in the soil. This means that when we eat them, we ingest those pesticides. They can be harmful to us. Cause cancer and stuff...

In theory, organic foods have no chemicals or pesticides used during the growing, harvesting or packaging of the product ...... However, many states have no personnel that actually goes out to inspect the "organic" farms...and they are watered from rainwater than falls through pollution in the air...and you'd have to know what the cows who produced the manure for fertilizer were fed. I'm sure it'd be healthier, if you could ever be sure that your food really WAS organic - personally, I think there are too many variables to warrant paying the extra cost for organic
