Do you prefer organic foods? Why? by Gisella Guerreiro https://padlet.com/gisellag5552/beudamtahk38 Since I am learning about GMO foods in AVID, I decided to make this to get each other's thoughts and ideas.

Danibee https://padlet.com/gisellag5552/beudamtahk38/wish/138571617 I prefer organic foods because they are much healthier than some GMO foods. You aren't eating chemicals, and it tastes very natural.]]> 2016-11-17 21:31:00 UTC https://padlet.com/gisellag5552/beudamtahk38/wish/138571617 Organic Milk Debate bgray11 https://padlet.com/gisellag5552/beudamtahk38/wish/138774556 Great work AVID students!

What do you think about these quotes I found on ProCon.org?Jacob Holm Nielsen, PhD, and Tina Lund-Nielsen, PhD, 
"Organically reared cows, which eat high levels of fresh grass, clover pasture and grass cover silage, produced milk which is on average 50% higher in vitamin E (alpha tocopherol), 75% higher in beta carotene (which our bodies convert to vitamin A) and two to three times higher in the antioxidants lutein and zeaxanthine than non-organic milk... In addition, we found higher levels of omega 3 essential fatty acids."
While the Dairy Council said, "Research shows that nutritionally there is no evidence that organic produce is better or safer than conventionally grown produce. Organic food differs from conventional foods in the way in which they are grown and processed."

****Do you agree or disagree with either of these claims? Does it matter how animals are treated, what they're fed, how they live?  Is organic milk a better choice than conventional cow milk?

They also don't have any pesticides. So they are, in my opinion, healthier.]]> 2016-11-26 22:13:34 UTC https://padlet.com/gisellag5552/beudamtahk38/wish/139990126 Organic Food brynnh2088 https://padlet.com/gisellag5552/beudamtahk38/wish/140338560 I think organic food is better because there are no bad things put into the food!!!]]> 2016-11-28 20:51:10 UTC https://padlet.com/gisellag5552/beudamtahk38/wish/140338560
