Penn and Teller BS: Organic Food Myths Debunked (Excerpt)

This blog project is dedicated to convincing people to be organic. However, I find it necessary to provide to the readers the other side of story. Of course, it is up to the viewer what they choose to eat. This post is not meant to rebel against this blogging project. It is equally important to view the argument of the opposition. But they do bring up some interesting points worthy of discussion.

WARNING!!! This does have foul language!!! 

If you would like to avoid the language, here's the list of the points they make. 

1. Organic crops require more acreage than nonorganic. 
2. Organic foods do contain pesticides as well.
3. 20% of our organic food is from CHINA. And there's no regulation of labelling where organic food is from. 
4. The American Cancer Society stated there's no evidence that pesticide residue can cause any type of cancer.
5. Organic food doesn't contain more nutrients than nonorganic.
6. If the world completely switched to organic farming, then 2-3 billion people would die of starvation.

This is Yummy and Good For You! Try it or Die.

Over the weekend My mom was doing some grocery shopping and came home with a Naked Protein Booster. This is like a fruit juice, smoothie type drink sold at mostly all main supermarkets, Publix, Ingles, specifically my mom bought it at Super H-Mart (a kind of japanese style farmer's market you should also check out!) Not only was the juice delicious, but I immediately started reading the nutrition label, turns out its really healthy! On the back it specifically said non-GMO and 100% fruit juice! After finding such a good tasting drink that actually helps your body i had to follow that up.. so looked up the website a found that Naked does many good things to be healthy and environmentally friendly.Click to read more or Die It's also using only pure organic fruits in all drinks they make. (Which are a lot..) They have a lot of differnt flavor and fruit combinations, they even have different types according to what your body needs, protein, antioxidents, etc.

I thought they were very delicious, and a good snack option, if you're in the super market be sure to pick one up!

OMG GMOs!

As we all know GMOs are particularly dangerous but we still eat them every day. A GMO is a genetically modified organism, and technically referred to as pesticides because of all of the modifications that take place while forming them. In America, people are consuming more GMOs than any other country. More of this is explained in the link,  click or die.

We mainly see GMOs as purely evil, but they do have some advantages; however, much of these advantages are for big corporations and not consumers. See for yourself in read or die, are they really worth it to you?
