Dangour, Alan D., et al. "Nutrition-related health effects of organic foods: a systematic review."American journal of clinical nutrition 92.1 (2010): 203-210. Agricola. EBSCO. Web. 2 Nov. 2010.
This article was a review of all of the articles from January 1, 1958, to September 15, 2008, about organic foods and whether or not they are helpful. They found that there is no significant benefit for eating organic rather than non-organic. I think this source can be credible, but the only chose 12 out of over 98,000 articles and they could have been a little bias on the ones the picked. There could have been other articles that gave organics more credit as to being healthier. This source is relevant to my argument because it goes along with Betsy's argument, so, I can use this article for my farmer's position to show that there is no significant difference.
MacRae, R., et al. "Ten percent organic within 15 years: Policy and program initiatives to advance organic food and farming in Ontario, Canada [electronic resource]." Renewable agriculture and food systems24.2 (2009): 120-136. Agricola. EBSCO. Web. 2 Nov. 2010.
This article is from Canada and states that organic is the way to go. This is a key article for my letter back to Betsy because I can use it to prove that it has shown that organics have shown to be more healthier. The article states that "substantial environmental and economic benefits can arise from organic farming adoption." This article states that Canada is trying to become mostly organic after 15 years having 5,343 organic farmers. This article is a little helpful showing that there are advantages to going organic and little but of a farmers view, but it talks mostly about the farmers so I think I am going to find another article to really show the advantages of going organic.
