Is organic food really healthier?
Organic food has a lot of distributors, but when some sort of produce is not in season, wouldn’t it be harmful to the environment to ship it across the US or from another country to get it to that store? Semi trucks would have to use a lot of gasoline and give off fumes in the air to get it out there.
my bad! not gasoline…diesel oops!
If organic food is grown yourself, or locally I would agree that it is healthier, but if shipping is involved, apart from “emissions”, the quality becomes of a lower standard, due to length of time taken between picking, handling, packing, shipping and reaching the table.
