Organic products and non–organic products have been a subject of interest for me for a great amount of time because I have often questioned whether there really was a difference between the two types of products. I always wondered what the nutritional, economic, laborious, and pollution differences were, if any, in the creation of the two types of products.

There is also an alternative in the labeling, where the product can be claimed to be "made with organic ingredients." The label certifies that the good was made with at least 70 percent organic ingredients (4, 1). The difficulty of producing organic products may Get
