Is the Vegetables in the market organic or full of chemicals?

I do not know which country you belong to. But in our country all the vegetables in the market have been grown with chemical manures. So they are not organic, they are full of chemicals and hence harmful for health.

Injecting something to tomatoes to make them ripe is not the right procedure, instead they are using some ripening agent like calcium carbide to make the ripening faster. There are recommended withdrawal period for the pesticides in veggies. One of the thesis my friend conducted was the testing anf determination of pesticide residues in some veggies sold in the market. They really got positive results that there are still pesticides in the veggies but into a minimal amount only. What is alarming with the said results, it may be accumulated inside our body and will give us harmful effect in the future.

I totally agree with you. I hate that the world has become so money-hungry and will do anything to get more. I do not trust the vegetables or fruits from the stores. Around here, they do sell what they call "organic" but I still do not trust them. I would much rather grow my own so that I am 100% sure that they are all organic. I have a vegetable garden every year plus I grow fruit trees, berry bushes, strawberries and kiwis and I grow them all organically. I use natural methods of repelling garden pests and insects, never use chemicals around my produce. I know that we can buy organic foods but the cost would probably be more than most people can afford right now, the way the world's economy is. It's a shame that everyone cannot grow their own produce but not everyone has the room to grow everything they need. I like the old-fashioned way of getting what we need: the barter system, where one neighbor grows one thing, another neighbor grows something else, yet another one raises chickens, and everyone trades what they have for what they need. No money is exchanged and everyone gets organically grown food.

we can never be sure. yes, mostly vegetables and fruits on the market are grown with chemicals. the producers don't care too much they are only concern about the huge profits they can get. it is better to grow our own like what you did. that is good!

Hi riya, They call the chemical preservative. And all kinds of food preservative creates hazaradous diseases like cancer, high and low blood pressure, renal failure, memory power, hormonal disfunctions, potency etc. So we should eat home grown food and vegetables. Presertatives are silent killep.

my mom like gardening and she have a roof garden ... where have many vegetables and flowers ... we use that vegetables because of chemicals make many disease and very harmful... from the last 3 years chemicals are use for every thing even in milk... in the market, profit is everything and humanity goes in the hole..

Just for own sake some people are playing with the life of billion consumers. Using of Pesticides not only give them premature vegetables in a large number but also spreading many diseases. Use of chemicals is extremely harmful as they are carcinogenic ( cancer generating ). They reduces the response of nervous systems and also malfunction the body's organ's function. While on the other hand Organic farming is the best technique among all the farmings which aren't harmful.
