Chapter 32, Problem 9TYK
Summary Introduction
To determine:
If the apples labeled “organic” depicts anything about the way they are grown and the nutritional value of the apples.
Introduction:
Due to extensive use of the fertilizers and pesticides in farming, the quality of the soil has deteriorated significantly. The fruits and vegetables that are being consumed are ladled with poisonous chemicals that can harm the body in many ways. To curb this practice, organically grown fruits and vegetables are sold that are less harmful for the environment and for human consumption.
