Doing essay for university class: organic vs conventional food. I’m looking for websites AGAINST Organic Food.
PLEASE NOTE: i’ve always been the person to stand up for organic food. Nowadays, there’s many sources that stick up for organic food. My problem, is trying to show the other side of the argument for my essay (this is what we have to do) –> people AGAINST organic food. Is anyone able to find credible websites, with scholarly journals or articles by nutritionists/experts, as to why we SHOULDN’T be choosing organic food?
Hey Thanx for the quick answers guys! Much appreciated!
The only argument I’ve seen against Organic food was in TIME Magazine. TIME postulated that Local food was better for you then Organic. There’s less of a carbon footprint and because the produce is pollinated using the flowers and vegetation of the area, your immune system is strengthened. I would check the TIME website.
