Is Organic Food Worth Its Price? Organic farming began in the late 1940’s in the United States‚ and in recent years it has seen a dramatic increase in popularity (Rubin 1). The sales of organic food have been increasing by about 20 percent a year over the past decade (Marcus 1). That is over ten times the rate of their conventional counterparts (Harris 1). There are 10 million consumers of organic food in the United States‚ yet organic food represents only one percent of the nation’s food

“why organic?” Our campaign‚ “why organic?”‚ includes a series of print ads that increase awareness to consumers about chemically injected foods. Our campaign is differentiated from other campaigns by the multiple perspectives our ads take while sharing a common theme in design and overall point. Humorous‚ fearful‚ and informative pictures and facts are used to show consumers the connection between non-organic foods and disease‚ cancer‚ and other disorders in consumers. Although organic foods

Physical Properties of Organic Molecules Abstract Identifying the physical properties of compounds can be useful in several ways. It helps us to determine the structure of certain compounds‚ the purity of substances and if a substance is not pure we can figure out how to separate contaminating substances from a compound. In this experiment‚ I learned how to determine a solid’s melting point and why some melting point ranges may be broader than others.
