Question

Explain why Gina’s rationale in buying organic produce is invalid in the scenario below. Situation: Gina is concerned about the quality of food her family eats, so she only buys organic produce.

Answer 1

Answer:

The rationale is wrong because not all organic food is healthy, or better, because not all quality food is organic.

Explanation:

There is a lot of non-organic food that is both healthy and high quality, and that is often cheaper than their organic equivalents or substitutes. Genetically modified food is in fact, shown to be safe study after study, and enjoys the support of the scientific community.

For this reason, Gina should also consider non-organic alternatives for high quality food.
