Facts

   The factual support for organic food being better than conventional food comes from many different scientists of course being number one, but also consumers, and farmers themselves. The factual evidence that I have to support my topic is not opinionated but stated, from farmers and scientists that concur, organic food is much healthier for you. This goes as well for the environmental standpoint of organic food. Organic food's side is taken by consumers alike and you know that the information you are getting is very scientific but, its understandable because people can agree or cohere to it.

2nd Strongest Argument

My Second strongest argument in my paper would defiantly be the serious dangers of eating the chemicals inside non organic products. Wether its pesticides, growth hormones, GMO's, etc. they all have the same problem, and that is that they can get humans seriously sick. These chemicals can cause cancers,and other chronic illnesses that people never really think of. Most people go on and eat non organic food but don't concern themselves with the serious dangers of what can be lurking inside the, This is why my second argument is very interesting and i can give knowledge to those who no nothing about these effects.

What The Experts Think.

My Topic is very easy to get an experts opinion mainly because there are so many arguments and viewpoints in my topic. The main thing that the experts agree on is the fact that nutrients in organic food is much higher than that of conventional food. The pesticides and all the other chemicals that go into conventional foods cannot compare to the nutrient rich organic food. Stanford scientist have come out with a study that they think proves that organic food isn't more nutrient rich. Immediately after they said this scientists attacked them with statistical information that proved their hypothesis wrong. While I believe there are some people on the side of conventional food there will always be many more qualified experts on the organic side. The research that and been obtained just proves how dominant Organic food is when it comes to health and safety.

Strongest Arguement

      As I progress through my research I realize that one argument that i have stands out above the rest. I believe that my strongest argument is the health benefits of organic food and how they are so much better fro your "mind, body, and soul." I believe this just because of the facts that support this reason, there are so many large and little facts about organic health benefit that it makes it extremely easy to argue about. An example of a quick fact that you can go on and on about is that organic food studies show that organic food has stronger immune system protection. The chemicals in non- organic food can harm your immune system, leaving you open to sickness. This is an example of just a tiny fact that you can probably ramble on about for a good paragraph and a half. That is why I believe this will be my strongest argument. The facts that come along with this supporting reason are ample. This will be an easy supporting paragraph that I can write a lot about. i cant wait to write about this topic knowing i have an extremely high amount of facts to back it up.

PLEASE WATCH THIS.

 This is a video i wanted to show everyone.This is what is called a downer cow, this cow is so souped up on antibiotics, steroid, and god know what else. That it cant even walk, its too massive for its legs to handle. this is what conventional farmers do, they almost kill their cows with chemicals so that they are bigger and the make more money. They don't care about us an d what is going into our bodies after this you'll take a second thought. This cruelty is almost unbearable. PLEASE CLICK THE LINK AND WATCH. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OZCdXniYwd4

Rationale For Position.

   

 

 LETS MAKE EVERYTHING USDA ORGANIC CERTIFIED.

      As you know from reading my last post, I will be taking the side of Pro-Organic on my topic. My question once again is, Should there be a law made, that all farms must be certified Organic, and must have safe farming practices that do not harm humans, animals, and the world? I have decided to be Pro-Organic for various reasons. Number one the facts and reasons to be Pro-Organic outweigh the conventional farmers by a lot so, it will be easier to argue why it should be a law. After, reading all my articles it was extremely easy to pick out the pros of organic farming, and hard to find the cons of organic farming. So I already feel like i have an advantage when it comes to Pro Organic facts compared to conventional facts. I also choose to go pro organic because my mother would kill me if i went a different way. For years she has been trying to stress to me the harmful effects of conventional food, and how chemicals are being put into my body. After, reading these facts about GMO's, pesticides, and other antibiotics, there is no way you can pull for conventional farming. These facts are jaw dropping and when I present them to my teacher her jaw will most most likely drop as well. The facts about organic food are just too good to pass up, and it will create less of a hassle when it actually comes to writing my paper, because i will have tons of facts to choose from and tons to back them up.

What Side I Will Be Taking?

 


 
 GORGANIC

           I will be taking the Pro-Side of Organic Farming. I believe that there should be a law that all farms should be certified Organic. I'm going with the Pro side because the facts fro Pro just outweigh the Facts given from the Cons. I also believe that the facts about Pro Organic farming are much more important than the cons. My supporting arguments will be Pesticides that cause illness, grass-fed beef vs conventional,the mistreatment of animals, the antibiotics and other chemicals in the diets of conventional farm animals, and lastly the effects of conventional farming on humans and earth. The arguments that I must battle from the cons, is the skill and time needed to be organic, the cost, and mainly the lower yield percentage of organic farms. I am excited to get started on my essay and look forward to sharing it not only with my class mates but, to the world. I hope they become as informed as i am, about what they are really eating.
