Hi everybody, it's Ben,
I learned about food and where it came from by Birke Baehr an 11 year-old boy on youtube.When he was young he wanted to be an NFL player, then he decided he wanted to be an organic farmer. He told me that almost all farms use pesticides and herbicides to keep the bugs off, but when it rains, those chemicals seep into the ground and into our underground water supply. Farmers also use chemicals and properties of other plants and animals so they grow bigger and last longer. Yeah, you heard me, they splice plants and animals together to make them better. But when lab animals ate this modified food, they got cancer and some kind of liver disease. The farmers still sold the tainted food. Birke said that some people asked him, "Isn't organic food more expensive?" He said "Yes, but would you rather spend a little more money or pay the hospital because of bad food?" So eat right, buy organic food, and stay healthy.
