Everybody in todays society is on a health kick and they are all about the idea of going green. However, no one thought that someone would be telling you that going green or in this case eating organic foods can actually be bad for your health. There is a new strain of E Coli Bacteria and research shows that those who eat organic foods are 8 times more likely to catch the virus. The reasons for organic produce to have such higher risk is because of the farmers using the methods of using manure to fertilize the food. These although once considered to be healthy food choice are now creating a major health scare again in the United States. The only way to stop the spread of this disease is to find new ways to grow organic or to stop the production altogether. This sounds like a harsh method, but the organic market is currently only using up about 1% share for produce.
