Although pesticides are meant to kill pest, why would you like to eat something that has the amount of poison to kill many insects? Wouldn’t you feel weird to eat something that contains that chemical that was able to kill millions of insect from infesting the fruit or vegetable? But we could try find other ways to prevent the use of chemical pesticides. We can think that GMOs can help in this situation, since scientists and biotechnicians are now trying create and develop food that are already pest free. Those food are what are known as “conventional food”. Another option we could have is shop organic. Since it has been said that “Fruits and Vegetable are just a few type of food that should not be eaten if they are not organic because of

Organic food is mostly describe as chemical free, grown all natural. Many people have turn to buy more organic food then conventional food. Consumers are looking more into their option to shop organic alternatives because they are now noticing that farmers are using a lot of chemicals to kill weeds, insects and other pests. There is an interesting fact on how much farmers used chemical on their non-organic food found in the article Everybody’s Going Organic- Should You? It said in their article that “some (non-organic) apples are sprayed up to 16 rimes with 36 different pesticides” (1). That’s a lot of different pesticides that are sprayed in our foods. This is why people are choosing organic, because they are concern about their health with all chemical pesticides being spray in the food. Another reason why consumers are now going for organic food is shown in the article Organic vs Conventional were it tries to compare the two and show a study on which is better if either organic or conventional is good, it stated in the article that “this study showed that detectable pesticide residues were five times more likely to be found on conventional food versus organic food” (Campbell, …show more content…

Maybe since I just bought items that I usually eat often, I didn’t purchase any extra items. When I got home I tasted one of the organic apple I bought, it tasted kind of different it didn’t really taste as sweet as an Honeycrisp apple. It’s was different, I was so use to shopping conventional foods, my body was already use to it. I felt like I had more energy consuming an organic apple it’s weird but that how I felt. I then decided to stop by again at Whole Food Market and purchase myself some healthy snacks. I purchase organic corn chips, and some fresh guacamole. I took it to work and was snacking that all these days. I felt that it was healthier then snacking on donuts or Doritos at work. I felt really proud making all these changes and I felt like my body was feeling the changes I’ve been doing. Now I’m thinking of going to these grocery stores more often. This weekend I also tried something new, I went to a vegan restaurant with my little brother. This was something new to us, we had never ate at a vegan restaurant before. When we looked at the menu we didn’t know what to choose. I finally made a decision and decided
