ODYR Reading Response Chapter 10

Chapter 10 to me was the most surprising chapter, because I actually learned something that was a bit surprising and interesting about organic food. One of the things that were shown was how organic food is very much the same as non-organic food. A lot of the organic food companies are owned by big corporations that own non-organic food and use corn for almost everything. What made this chapter significant is that organic food became more successful after Americans started to care about what to eat, so organic food because a way for big companies to clear their tracks by coming out with “organic food” which is food with growing regulations, like natural pesticides.

Question/Response

Do corporations make more money by selling organic products?

Yes, for two reasons it cost companies more money to produce organic foods, and because it cost more to produce them they can sell it for more money to make more profit. Also people would rather pay more money to live longer, and be healthier.
