It means its been grown naturally, with no added pesticides or anything! Supposed to be better for you, but costs a lot more!

Organic fruit and veggies are grown with no pesticides I have never seen ‘Organic” chicken but I have seen “free range” chicken in the stores and eggs laid by free range chickens

The vegetables aren’t sprayed with pesticides and the chickens are not kept in coops…seriously.

But me, I prefer a little pesticide on my tomatoes and I prefer my chickens to be cooked anyway. I grew up in the country and believe me, this organic crap is not all it’s cracked up to be.

It’s for rich people who hate themselves…like my MIL. That’s why she eats organic food. It’s nothing to do with cholesteral. It’s just one more reason to be miserable.

no. organic means the crop was growing without being artificially protected or its yield enhanced with artificial chemicals such as pesticides and herbicides. the only chemicals used are water and whatever is in the soil.

YES. if you feed it all natural food, it will be organic.

it haz a downside. lost yield due to pests, loss of nutrients from weeds, pest/herbicides also boost the growth of plants. dead zones in seas or a smaller crop. I’m gonna go with smaller crops cause there are plants that can grow organically such as hazelnuts. squirrels arent an issue.

In veggies terms, it means they are not sprayed with pesticides, they are grown naturally not enhanced.

Chickens, are grain fed and not fed bi-products or given hormone supplements to enhance growth.

Did you know that the bi-products has meat(chicken) in it?
They are making the chickens eat other chicken meat, yuck.
Cannibalism.

it means that the chickens were raised in natural conditions, fed with natural food (without chemicals)
it means farming without chemistry

If you think about it nothing can really be non organic, everything that exists had to have come from the earth

Organic is home grown so it doesn’t take that long getting to the shops

It is also grown/raised in your own country so less emissions are used
