Organic means less chemically processed and less pesticides. Consumers are paying premium prices for organic foods - milk, cereals, meat, fruits, vegetables and even TV dinners. People who support organic foods have a misconception that organic are healthier and comes from small family farms, but most organic products are manufactured by large industrial corporations. In fact, many businesses and their marketing departments are catching on and labeling everything they sell as "organic". However, the government is not regulating organic products so how can consumers be sure an apple is really organic? Since organic foods are relatively expensive, only the upper middle class and above are able to afford and benefit, which is absolutely not fair for the rest of the population.
