Organic food

Organic food is food that comes from plants and animals that have been grown without the use of artificial chemicals. This means that the food has not been sprayed with artificial fertilizers or pesticides to help them grow. It also means that the animals that provide meat, eggs, dairy, and other products have not been given antibiotics or other medications, and have been raised in a way that is more natural to their behavior and living environment. Organic food is usually more expensive than food that's grown with artificial chemicals, but many people think that it is worth it because organic food is better for their health and for the environment.
