    Now, all processed foods are a danger and simply because a food is labeled as “organic” or “natural” it understandably seems healthier to the average consumer without providing any real benefit. Although many health specialists suggest eating strictly organic, fresh, and local produce, their advice is only truly relevant to the privileged individuals who have the means necessary to live that kind of lifestyle. Furthermore, even if that kind of dietary lifestyle is made accessible to the underprivileged areas, research has proven that people are not easily willing to adopt these diets anyhow. In sum, food advocates and those who give them a voice need to accept the impracticality of what they preach and realize that no change can happen through their message if they forget to assess the entirety of the situation (Freedman). If healthy food advocates, producers of processed foods, and the general public worked together to at least agree on message that actually reflects the reality of the situation, than change might be possible.…

According to Pollan these are areas, “where product tends to be hard to find, or poor quality, or expensive.” After all, according to Consumer Reports in 2015, “ on average, organic foods were 47% more expensive,” than conventional foods. A major portion of the general public falls victim organic foods’ expensiveness and inaccessibility. But there are “wholesome foodies” who do believe that America can overcome both of these issues.…

    Strolling through Stop and Shop, customers always seem to lay their eyes on the organic aisle for a split second, and think "What really labels this aisle as organic? Why would I ever want to be healthy?" Some, nonetheless, walk through the aisle, picking up these overpriced products that claim to allegedly be free of artificial flavors and genetically modified chemicals; products that claim to be unlike those found in the other ten aisles of the supermarket. The article "What are you Buying When You Buy Organic," by Steven Shapin depicts the corporate food industry, specifically Earthbound Farms and how the discussion of organic produce is more of a profitable matter, than what matters most, the health of an individual.

    He asserts “the fact that better food — measured by taste or nutritional quality (which often correspond) — costs more, because it has been grown or raised less intensively and with more care. ”(Pollan 23). According to The Rationalization and Persistence of Organic Food beliefs in the Face of Contrary Evidence by Olson, Erik L, the authors disprove Pollan’s claim through a content analysis of 710 reader responses for a Stanford study, which objective was to examine the ‘pro-organic’ and ‘organic-skeptic’ reader comments and determine the personal impact of organic food consumption, as well as the environmental impact of organic food production. The exposure of a Stanford University meta-analysis, which concludes that organically produced foods do not offer any significant nutritional advantages, as opposed to, conventionally produced food completely refutes Pollen’s claim. The study proves that just because a food has the label “organic” on it does not mean it is significantly “healthier”.…
