    The most emphatic support comes early in her essay in paragraph 2, where she highlights the seemingly unethical methods of marketing and strategy that the organic companies use in attempt to convey their belief that organic foods must be healthier than naturally grown ones. She goes on to mentioning Warren Leon and Caroline Smith Dewaal’s book Is Our Food Safe?, where they suggest that people purchase organic foods in effort to help the environment and that there is not any statistical data to back their claim that organic foods are healthier. The author then cites an “interesting poll” done by ABC News, in which they concluded that people think organic food is healthier because it contains less pesticide residue. She then says that there has never been a connection between the nutritional value of organic food and the residue that is found on them. Weinacker then describes a phone interview done with an agricultural county extension agent by the name of Joseph Williamson, and how he believes that since organic crops grow slower they contain more nutrients than conventional foods. He also says that they are riper than…

    I gained different knowledge about organic food along with the benefits of it. Non-organic food contain pesticides and plenty of food additives. 100% Organic is made with none of that it’s made all naturally so for example its made with no food supplements and no pesticides. In the food and recipes feature stories section John Reganold, a professor of soil science at Washington State University in Pullman, Washington, states, "If you 're talking about pesticides, the evidence is pretty conclusive. Your chances of getting pesticide residues are much less with organic food.” For example in a regular industrial farm where they plant crops they use pesticides along with food supplements for it to grow faster and for it to taste better. Now in organic farming where they grow crops or raise animals there are no pesticides or food supplements used in to make them grow faster, it was…

    Amanda, I most definitely agree, our fruits and vegetable crops must grow without the synthetic pesticides. We all believe that organic is always the best choice because it is better for our health, the importance of our environment, and the people who grow our food. I read that the hazard risk from pesticides on the traditional or regular food of produce fluctuates from very low to very high depending on the type of produce and what country where it’s grown. Learning from our assignments about ecology and how necessary it is to understand how living things interact with each other as well as with nonliving elements gave me a better perspective and understanding life purpose. Watching the movie “King Corn,” gave me a better view about the synthetic…

    Over the years, it seems as if the agricultural industry has been more focused on the quantity, more than quality. As a society, we have been manipulated by companies into thinking we are eating all natural ingredients. Before companies started serving our foods with chemicals, authentic food came from animals that were free to roam on pastures and that were freshly cut and packaged. Now the food comes from a factory farm, which is when animals are treated as if they were machines designed only to produce. Factory farming has a negative impact on animals, human health and the environment. As consumers, we should be in control of what we want in our food; and to do so, we should cut down on how much we buy from the markets.…

    Pesticide Penetration

    The state of the chemical, i.e., solid, liquid, or gas, affects the chances of pesticide penetration into the body. Liquids or gasses can get into the body through all three routes, whereas solids tend to have a lower chance of entry through the lungs. However, if solid particles are small enough or if they remain on the skin long enough, penetration into the body can take place in the same ways to those of liquids or gasses. The most common route by which pesticide users are poisoned is absorption through the skin. Dermal absorption may occur as a result of splashes and spills when mixing, loading or disposing of pesticides. To a minor degree, it may result from exposure to large amounts of residue. The degree of hazard by dermal absorption…

Much debate of the effects of chemicals used on commercial crops and overall long term effects on humans is an increasing concern.

    Paraquat, also called methyl viologen, is widely used by farmers as an herbicide (). Herbicides are known to control weeds by altering how they grow, by modifying the plants ability to make essential carbohydrates, lipids, and ultamatly preventing germination (if applyed before it turns into a seedling) (http://paraquat.com/knowledge-bank/crop-production-and-protection/mode-of-action-how-herbicides-work). Paraquat is used in a large variety of crops as it shows highly toxic effects to unwanted vegetation like weeds, grasses, and broad leaf plants (http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.1399-3054.1982.tb04545.x/full). The purpose of this lab is to look at different effects of paraquat toxicity which causes changes in the lipid membrane bilayer of chlorosplasts (makes it leaky) and the formation of malondialdhyde in the bean Phaseolus vulgaris, by isolating the choloroplast, determining the chlorophyll concentration, determinating the protein amount by making a standard curve, and to exam the X-Ray diffraction. In addition, the purpose of this lab was also to gain experience in the lab by perfroming different techniques.…

    Nowadays ,people can’t oppose the boosting of the countless pests and insects that disturb our daily habits. Controlling of insects and pests is one of the main problems of most farmers and gardeners. So, instead of buying commercial and expensive inorganic insecticides, an alternative and economical insect repellant made up of the sap of euphorbia plant, garlic, and siling labuyo, all natural insecticides derived from different plants which could kill insects and pests. The garlic (alluim sactium) that used for both ordinary and medicinal purposes and even as natural flavoring, could also be a benefit to make an insecticide. The property of garlic that is considered as an effective chemical that can kill insects and pests is its ALICIN, it is not seen in its natural state but when shopped and crushed, the enzyme ALLINASE acts on the chemical ALLIIN converting it to ALLICIN. ALIIN is an amino acid that doesn’t build proteins. Thus, it could kill insects becauseof its smell which humans dislike too. Furthermore, the garlic helps the insecticide to be more secure and natural. For the siling labuyo(capsicum annuum)which can be purchased at any markets, was also proved to an efficient ingredient in making an insect repellant. It has an active component known as CAPSAICIN . It was said to be an irritant for animals that causes a perception of burning of tissues. Capsaicin is the primary ingredient of pepper sprays. While in the other hand, the sap of euphorbia plant (euphorbia leucocephala), a cactus-like plant with spiny and succulent stems and flowers that are solitary, short and colorful. Base from the researchers, the euphorbia plant has a poisonous principle in all parts and it can be an active component in making an insecticide because it’s high toxicity. It may intense inflammation of the skin and eye to the person or animals that will be affected by…
