Unit 2 Discussion Assignment

The product that I want to market is organic dried fruits. I want to market this product because it is healthier, safe for the environment, and people don’t want to consume toxic foods anymore. In the modern world, fruits and vegetables are grown spraying chemicals, pesticides, or they are genetically modified organisms (GMO). All of these products are harmful to our health and environment.

I came up with this decision based on my personal observation on how some farmers grow their crops. I have seen farmers spraying pesticides and chemicals on their crops in order to control plague and speed grow. After the toxins are sprayed not a living creature survives in the field. The toxins sprayed impregnates into the fruits and vegetables and remain there; when these products are consumed it goes to our bloodstream causing cancer and other illnesses. Additionally, “pesticide drift is an insidious threat to human health as well as to wildlife and ecosystems in and around agricultural and even residential areas where harsh chemicals are used to ward off pests” (https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/pesticide-drift/). …show more content…
