The Organic Debate: Are Organic Foods Healthier?


Although chemical fertilizer conglomerates, giant agricultural companies and their fellow politicians claim that pesticides and genetically engineered foods are safe, it’s been shown that pesticides can adversely affect the nervous system, increase the risk of cancer, and decrease fertility.
