Updated Thesis

According to Marcus Aurelius who was a Roman emperor and philosopher, "Everything you hear is an opinion, not a fact and everything you see is a perspective, not the truth.” The controversial argument regarding organic products and their benefits or lack of has been ongoing for a long time. Many companies encourage families to try out their organic products but it seemingly appears as though their target audiences are oblivious of the content of the food that they consume (Kennedy, 2014). For most shoppers, it is always convenience over nutrition unless the shoppers are suffering from some ailment that requires a specific nutritional diet. The question as regarding the existence of difference between organic and nonorganic products has baffled many over the years. Are there any laborious, nutritional, pollution or economic differences in the production and consumption of organic foods over conventional foods? In Pearson’s article, “Organic food: what we know (and do not know) about consumers”, the author states that most people think that organic foods are more nutritious because they are grown without chemicals and pesticides (Pearson et.al., 2011). Most countries however, have system checks that monitor the level of pesticide and chemical residue in consumables. Conventional foods go through these checks to ensure that they do not have more than the allowable levels. Therefore, when people purchase organic foods, they only dig deeper into their pockets without achieving real value.
