What is “Organic” Food?

What is “organic” food?

Organic food is basically unadulterated food. We have an informal definition of organic food, which is kind of “natural”, and we have a legal definition of organic food, certified organic. What’s important in organic food is that there are no added hormones, like bovine growth hormones, which can contribute to disease, and that we don’t use synthetic and chemical fertilizers, herbicides, pesticides, and any other types of additives that are not natural in organic food.
