The debate is always there regarding the worth of vegan food. For consumers who were not willing to eat food which was prepared using pesticides and fertilizers or genetically altered produce and irradiated meats, organic food was the best option. But the cost faction was always there!
For example, the definition of organic was according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture standards, 2002,
National Organic Program, that all organic produce is grown with completely natural methods using no pesticides or fertilizers or synthetic ingredients or even sewage sludge. All most all organic produce like , meat, poultry, eggs and dairy products are not supposed to be provided antibiotics or growth hormones and are not in pens for grazing. As a result you can just imagine the manual labor required to get you healthy and pest free food.
This reflects in the food with a pound of conventional potatoes costing 69 cents when normally produced and $1.49 when its grown organically and 99 cents when its sold as health food!But scientists are not satisfied with the claim that organic food is really moreĀ healthy and are claiming that the extra prices are really a ploy to hood wink customers to pay more for a simple tag!
