As Roger Cohen states in his article, "The Organic Fable," “The takeaway from this study could be summed up in two words: organic, schmorganic” (Cohen). That’s been my feeling for a while. This quotation, taken from the article sums up almost the entire article in two words, as well as showing the authors side of the topic. In the article, Roger Cohen believes that organic products such as organic baby food, organic fruit and many other food items labeled organic are basically a scam. I am here to discretely disagree with Mr. Cohen’s facts and research and put in a good amount of my own judgment towards the matter as well as responding to his very bold statements. I will be responding to this article by reviewing the facts, statements and opinions said by the author and putting in my own intelligent insight. Although non-organic food does cost less and provides the same nutritional value, organic food provides us with non-toxic food as well as less bacterial substances such as pesticides and antibiotics. Organic foods have always been a highly discussed topic in today’s society and the author of this article does a very nice job displaying the positives and negatives. In this article organic food is viewed basically as a placebo. The author’s main focus is for people to stop wasting their money on organic foods because it is no better than regular food. After much research Stanford University concluded that fruits and vegetables labeled organic have no more nutritional value than the cheaper non-organic fruits and vegetables. The study also shows that organic meats have no health advantages over the normal meats. The article also stated that Stanford University found that “organic food was not less likely to be contaminated by dangerous bacteria like E.coli” (Cohen). The author uses facts only from one college to really draw you into his side. Later in the article, he goes into the three positives about organic foods. H
