Copy/Paste Code: 
There is already overwhelming evidences about the harmful effects of pesticide contamination, it seems unlikely that these effects will eventually emerge.
The way to avoid pesticide contamination is to opt for organically grown food. Organically grown vegetables and fruits are not only virtually free from pesticides; they also contain more vitamins and minerals than conventionally grown vegetables. Because the chemical fertilizer used in conventionally grown vegetables contain only the few key minerals required for the plant growth. As a result food grows more quickly and the soil eventually becomes depleted of other trace elements not included in the commercial fertilizer. Organic farmers on the other hand use natural fertilizers. These contain a wide variety of minerals and the soils are being replenished rather than the crop itself, there by maintaining the natural balance in the soil.
If organic foods are not available to you, you should always remember to wash fruits and vegetables thoroughly. Root vegetables such as carrot and parsnips and fruit such as apples and pears should always be peeled before cooking and eating.
What about meat and poultry?
Do you know the condition in which the animal is kept will affect the health of the animal and ultimately that of the consumer. The animal or poultry should be allowed a minimum of indoor and outdoor space. In conventional farming the birds live in more crowded conditions which may have health implications for the chicken requiring more frequent use of antibiotics.
Organic livestock and chickens in addition to being raised outdoors are given organic food. The animals are not fed antibiotics so they develop natural resistance to disease.
In some countries cattle are given steroid hormones to promote growth.
Finally I would like to conclude that even though organic food seems to be expensive but if you think of their purchase as an investment in your family’s future health you will probably consider them well.
