Most organic food in the US is grown on mono cultural farms (page 133)
This destroys the topsoil by taking away their nutrients
Then farmers have to use chemicals to grow their crops
You can't grow as many crops
Once organic farmers started processing their food they made more money
More food becomes processed
Some nutrients can be taken away from the food since it's being processed so much.
We ship food all around the world (152)
That takes a lot of energy to keep it cooled (152)
We get to enjoy it all year round (152)
Not as good quality (152)
The chickens only live for 7 weeks before getting slaughtered (page 148)
They are bred to grow quickly (page 148)
Their legs cannot grow as quickly as the rest of their body (page 149)
They cannot walk by seven weeks
They are all the same breed
They recieve no antibiotics (page 149)
If one chicken gets sick, all chickens get sick (page 149)
20,000 chickens can die from sickness overnight (page 149)
The meat could be infected (page 149)
Not as natural
Was more expensive at the counter than Industrial (154)
Industrial is way cheaper at the counter but it tends to make you have more health problems and government sometimes subsidize for certain crops. Industrial Organic is slightly healthier for you.
Tastes better than Industrial most of the time (154)
Is also slightly better for you because it doesn't contain pesticides. (154)
Healthier for growing children (155)
BUT... According to the USDA, food is food, organic or not. (155-156)
It contains higher levels of Vitamins C and Polyphenols (156)
They are packed tightly together so it seems like a moving carpet (page 149)
The chickens are NOT fed corn (155)
The chickens never go outside despite being free range
Cows still eat corn just like industrial (page 134)
