Hello! Doesn't everyone hate eating food that has been sprayed with pesticides and chemicals that aren't good for you? Also when you are not eating organic you could be eating GMOs. GMOs stand for genetically modified organism. Examples of this are Usually the answer to that would be organic food but at the prices that they have it's so crazily expensive! Only a rich person could afford to eat organic every single day! The answer that I have will help you save money on organic food. It's to shop locally at a farmers market! It can save you a lot of money in different and unique ways and I have some of them.

If you shop at the farmers market you can save a ot of money. If you shop at the **local** farmers market it will save gas so you will save money just by walking or driving short distances Especially at the price of gas you really need to save on it. In the farmers market the organic food is cheaper than in those other grocery store. One example of that is organic strawberries can cost around $5 at Food Saver but at the farmers market you pay only $2.50. Also farmers market has everyday foods including black berries, strawberries, blue berries, etc. In the farmers market they also give out free samples so you can decide yourself if it is organic. Most likely I believe that it will taste fresh, natural and organic. If not just remember not to shop at that certain stand but I'm sure most of them will be organic.

As I said buying organic groceries at the farmers market is cheap and affordable If you shop there once a day buying something that's $3 but at other it's $5 you can save $730 dollars in one year. With that money you save you can pay bills, buy gas, etc. So you will have money and be healthy all the time.Also if you shop there the people who work there will have better business so if they have enough money they can afford to bring more organic food. So if there is more of it they can sell they're food at an even lower cost or they can bring in more varieties of fruits, vegetables, etc. Then more people will contain the right to eat organic foods, vegetables, etc.

Then you will regret not spending a few more dollars on organic food because you will pay a lot more on health care. Also don't buy everything organic just the dirty dozen. The dirty dozen is a certain group of fruits and vegetables that will be very, very bad for you if you eat them when they are not organic. They are peaches, a<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; font-family: 'News Gothic MT'; font-size: 16px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">pples, sweet bell peppers, celery, nectarines, strawberries, cherries, pears, imported grapes, spinach and lettuce. If you don't buy these organically you side effects, food allergies, increased waist lines, decreased absorption of minerals and vitamins, cancer and more. <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; font-family: 'News Gothic MT'; font-size: 16px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">These are very dangerous effects packed in a small vegetable or fruit. Think about it. Especially the "and more" part. Scientists are still looking for more side affects. Maybe these are half of them, maybe all of them. We won't know until the scientists find out or until we find out our very own just by not buying organic food. <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; font-family: 'News Gothic MT'; font-size: 16px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">

There is a store called Sprouts that is open every day day so it won't work. But if we convince the mayor to move the farmers market to Saturday we can all enjoy it. Or what we can do is if you can't go to the farmers market is just try to spend a few extra dollars on organic food. It is not to bad spending a few extra dollars. = Your Breakfast Bacon!
