Nature created a planet, where there is enough heat, water and sunlight for plants to grow, evolution to happen, animals and eventually humans to be. Nothing, I mean NOTHING would be available in a form as it is today, without sunlight. Because we have so-called plants, which turn sunlight into food. Humans developed enough to start agriculture, and selected specific species to be eaten. Time passed, many things happened...and people started to add different chemicals to the soil to make plants grow faster, bigger. That is how happened that agriculture turned into the biggest business of our world today. Because people think and people with money think more, mostly about how to turn that money into even more. It was just a question of time, but it started to happen not even a hundred years ago: foodindustry. They know it better, than enyone else: we all need food, everyday.
Let's say I am one of them. I make a city, telling people it is much cooler to live there, than on the countryside. Meanwhile I start to make food in big scale, so I take away their living. They all going to move to the city, where the jobs are and move away from the countryside, where there is "nothing". There is more and more people coming to my city, and I want to produce their food for no money. I add a lots of different kinds of pesticides, herbicides, fungicides, fertilizers to my plants, a lots of different kinds of foodsupplements, antibiotics to my animals, so they all grow faster, bigger and run my business. Unfortunately some people will notice the amount of chemicals in their food, and they will raise their voice. But then, I will make an other business, because I don't know where to spend my money, and I give them what they want, or they think that is what they want. I make a different market for people who want to work me a little more, for a little bit more money, who are conscious about what they eat, and willing to spend on "healthy" food. I create "organic"food, with all the mesmerizing green logos, which are going to make them feel proud, even more conscious about themselves, and the planet. And they do! And all the money goes into my pocket...
Just think about it. Organic is good, I am not saying is not. But isn't it funny, that first we add chemicals into natural food, after a while we realize it is not good and we make food without the chemicals again and LABEL it, with organic stickers: don't worry, it is safe to eat. So, get me well, the problem is not with the actual organic products, but with the system again. We label the normal, natural products with organic signs, instead of marking the non-natural, conventionally produced, almost unsuitable for human consumtion products with huge red stickers: chemically treated.
