Organic food isn\u2019t like the normal food you eat everyday. Organic food means no one added anything to it it\u2019s completely natural.<\/p>\n<p>Not just that but genetically modified food can be really good for your health. Amber Mchale, a worker at Ocean Beach People\u2019s organic food market believes that organic food is what normal food is. \u201cIt\u2019s the way food has been grown for thousands of years\u201d, says Amber.

She said that her parents bought some organic vegetables and there were many bugs in them.<\/p>\n<p>Organic food also contains fewer pesticides. \u201cGenetically modified food is more fresh because it doesn\u2019t contain preservatives that make it last longer\u201d, says Yakeen an 8th grade student who goes to Unis Middle School. According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.brandomgille.com\/\">WWW.brandomgille.com<\/a>, 65 percent of customers express the most desire for foods with organic ingredients.<\/p>\n<p>In the end there will still be people who hate organic food and people who like organic food.
