I know that being organic entails that no pesticides or chemicals were used during any process of development ,but what does “all natural” imply?

When raising conventional food, one uses pecticieds as compared to natural pesticides with organic (organic less expensive). Chemical fertilizers compared to organic fertilizers (organic natural and less expenisive ie manures etc)
How can this justify the higher cost of organic food as compared to commercially grown (less expensive) and having to purchase chemicals etc. Doing artifical pollination as oposed to natural pollination. The list goes on and onl. This boggles my mind. I know from my own garden by not having to spend money on poisons and artificial fertilizers it costs me less to grow vegatables than if I used chemicals and other artificial means.
Then why are we being charged more for a vegatable or a piece of meat that has no chemicals that are costly to produce, distribute, and apply as compared to natural herbicides, fertilizers, etc. that are plentiful and less expensive to use?

Liss asked:


I have recently started worrying about all the chemicals in regular shampoos, conditioners, etc. and was wondering where to get some organic products. However, I’m a college student, so I don’t have a lot of money and I’m looking for products that aren’t really expensive. Any suggestions?

I understand that organic milk does not contain synthetic hormones, added antibiotics and are free from chemicals such as pesticides, etc. But how does oraganic milk differ in chemical composition from conventional milk. I have read that organic milk has higher levels of vitamins and omega-3. What I am trying to understand is how can you TEST (in lab) whether milk is organically or conventionally derived? I apppreciate anyones scientific input. Thanks!

Organic mattresses start at $1,700. Is buying a regular mattress and an organic mattress pad/topper good enough protection from the chemical off-gassing? Or is the only way to go completely organic?

I have read up on organic and know it is really really healthy considering there are no chemicals used on the food. My parents are not all for it. Any suggestions?

SB asked:


I would prefer something I can use daily that has no chemicals or harmful products. I would like something affordable that works, and eventually improves the skin on my face without growing dependent on the lotion, like with other creams. Thats why I heard organic creams are the best for this. Can anyone recommend a high potency organic face cream?
