Nowadays healthy way of life is in favor. More and more people take care of their nutrition. The majority of people believe that organic food is healthier than conventional food. But are they really right?

As for me, the conventional food is proper for nutrition. First of all, its quality has become pleasant recently and the price is rather rational. For example, according to the results of the new research conducted by Stanford University scientists these products don’t harm humans and correspond with safety limits. Moreover, this is a small difference between nutrients which can be found as in organic, so as in conventional food.

Nevertheless, a great amount of people assert that organic food is healthier. They say that it’s grown without chemical fertilizers, pesticides, and herbicides and safe more Vitamins, as well as minerals, antioxidants and phytonutrients.

Despite my respect for their opinion I can’t share it. I think that the label ‘organic’ is a marketing campaign that serves to raise the products’ price. Indeed, there’s no guarantee that this food will be more natural than conventional one.

To sum up, I want to say that nutrition plays an important part of our life and it’s worth thinking about the right choice. Choose the right food without overpaying for it and remember that “organic” may be just a label of junk food. Give your preference to local products, stay healthy and keep fit.
