These days, there is a lot of talk about whether you should eat organic foods. Nonorganic produce and meat are often genetically

modified. In other words, different chemicals and hormones are used on those foods to make them bigger. Side effects of consuming genetically modified food have not been studied long term in people. In animals, however, researchers have found that liver problems, tumors, and even death can be side effects of eating genetically modified food.
If that information is not enough to scare you into eating organic foods, consider this fact: organic food contains more nutrients than nonorganic food. For growing kids and adults alike, that is pretty important. As a whole, people do not get enough nutrients in their diets.
Eating organic foods may also reduce your risk for cancer. The Environmental Protection Agency has studied the toxins used on nonorganic foods. They have found that many of these toxins have the potential to cause cancer.
Organic food does cost more than nonorganic food—sometimes a lot more. If you are on a tight budget, consider buying at least some organic foods. Fruits with skin that you can eat—apples, pears, and grapes—are best when they are organic. Any kind of leafy greens, such as lettuce and spinach, are also better when organic. However, items such as bananas and oranges can be organic or nonorganic because you eat only the inside portion of these fruits.
While it is best to switch to an all-organic diet, making even a few changes could bring about great improvement to your health and overall well-being.

How do you write a great story with a friend?
IRINA_888 [86]
This question is a very open one and i'm not sure what exactly you need to know but you'll need to do a lot of planning. Generally you need to develop an idea of the setting, plot line, characters and the overall meaning or topic of the story. It really helps if you know how you want the story to end so you can create plot twists and use foreshadowing to hint at future events. Most importantly you need creativity and inspiration, write something you think you would read if you were looking for something to enjoy.
