What does "organic" mean?
I was going to buy some groceries yesterday and carrots were on the list. I went to the produce section to choose my carrots and found a sign that said some of them (slightly more expensive, by the way) were organic. I've been seeing "organic" on more products lately and was curious what exactly that meant. I just know somebody here on Advicenators knows :)

“Organic” means that the food was grown without the use of synthetic chemicals. Organic meat and dairy products come from cows that are hormone-free. Organic meat also comes from animals whose feed did not contain pesticides

Organic is just a healthier way of growing things, So when they are growing them they dont put anything in the soil to make it grow faster or anything. and there is nothing added to the produce after it has been grown.
Hope i helped

What is organic?
Organic refers to the way agricultural products—food and fiber—are grown and processed. Organic food production is based on a system of farming that maintains and replenishes soil fertility without the use of toxic and persistent pesticides and fertilizers. Organic foods are minimally processed without artificial ingredients, preservatives, or irradiation to maintain the integrity of the food.
Organically grown food is generally accept to be healthier for you as it is free of pesticides, in soil grown food, and antibiotics in animal grown food. For more information on the subject go to the web site I have supplied.
