All across the United States people are looking for ways to improve their health.
They want to have more energy, get sick less often and improve their overall quality of life.
For many years now, Americans have believed that organic foods were healthier than food grown using conventional methods.
Those people might be very upset to find out that there really isn’t any difference between the organic Gala apple they just bought at Whole Foods and the regular apples readily available at the corner Walmart.
Well, other than the fact that the organic ones cost twice as much.
Why do most people buy organic? They believe that:
• Organic farming is better for the environment
• Organic foods are safer (no pesticides)
• Organic foods taste better
• Organic foods are more nutritious
The problem is that each of these strongly held beliefs are based in very shrewd marketing done by the organic farmers and organic food purveyors.
