For my research paper, I'm exploring how the benefits eating organically as a fetus or child justify the cost. Many people claim that the reason they choose not to buy organic food sources is due to the price, which at times could be nearly 75% more than their conventional equivalents. There are so many benefits to eating organically, many being improvements in I.Q., prevention of many diseases, and prevention of some mental issues. Some individuals would say that there's no way to prove that these are results of eating organically; therefore, that is where my research is calling a little short. I've cited many sources supporting the claim that eating organically at a young age definitely outweighs the cost, but I haven't been able to find a source, such as a research paper, that had these same claims. A question that I pose to you is how do you know if your source is considered a reliable one? Many of my sources are either from websites that support organic products or from a blog post. Two of my most used sources are articles from creditable websites, one being Time Magazine. How have all of you decided if your sources are credible enough to use in this research paper?ive found about 8 sources that I've used throughout my paper; however, if I could find more reliable, well known sources to insert instead of the ones in my paper that might not seem as creditable, I could switch them out and have greater acclaimed information in my paper. It's important for me to have accurate sources in this paper because I greatly support organic products and I want people to know the amazing benefits that accompany their consumption.

your topic is somewhat similar to mine because i want to find the affects on processed foods and how much will it cost compared to healthy foods. this website talks about the basics of knowing what organic food can do for you with. https://www.helpguide.org/articles/healthy-eating/organic-foods.htm
ReplyDeleteI am researching the same topic of organic food, and I agree the sources are a bit hard to find. One thing that has helped me is using The New York Times, because they seem to be a pretty good source. There are a few articles dealing with many aspects of organic foods. http://www.nytimes.com/2012/07/08/business/organic-food-purists-worry-about-big-companies-influence.html
