Justin: Do you still buy veggies from the vegetable vendor situated at the D’Monte street.
Mom: It’s been years I left buying veggies from that vendor.
Justin: But why is that? Did he shut his business?
Mom: That’s not the case. He still sells the vegetables right there on the same street but the inorganic ones.
Justin: I beg your pardon. Did you just say inorganic?
Mom: Yes, you heard it right.
Justin: But what does it mean?
Mom: Organic vegetables are better than inorganic.
Justin: What do you mean by organic and inorganic vegetables? Do they have a lot of dissimilarities?
Mom: It’s but natural.

Justin: My bad, I thought we always just bought the vegetables. I’ve never heard of these terms before.
Mom: These terms evolved due to the excessive demands for products.
Justin: And what is the difference in these vegetables?
Mom: Organic vegetables are purely safe to eat as they are grown without using any chemicals.
Justin: What type of chemicals?
Mom: Chemicals to trigger the growth of plants in combination with some pesticides, insecticides and herbicides. The nitrate available in these chemicals often cause cancer.
Justin: That’s terrible. Now I get why these are called inorganic vegetables. I’m glad you discontinued buying such veggies.
Mom: So am I.
Justin: But how can we conclude that organic veggies are really organic?
Mom: Organic vegetables come printed with organic certification on its packaging. Therefore, one should make sure to read the packaging label before buying.
Justin: Hhmm, it makes logical sense. It’s quite easy to buy organic veggies, I suppose.
Mom: I’m afraid it’s not.
Justin: Now what does make it difficult?
Mom: The latest study indicates that organic food has two categories. 50% organic and 100% organic.
Justin: Is this something to do with the percentage of adulteration?
Mom: Exactly! Using organic techniques to grow food on non-organic soil makes it 50% organic. And involving organic techniques to grow food on organic soil makes it 100% organic.
Justin: Oh, this is really going over my head. Now what is the difference between organic soil and non-organic soil?
Mom: Organic soil means the soil that does not have any sort of chemicals in it for a minimum of three years. And food grown on such soil makes it 100% organic.
Justin: That’s really amazing mom, I never knew that you research so much before buying foodstuff for the family.
Mom: Doesn’t that display my love for the family? My family’s safety is my responsibility.
Justin: Of course, Mom. You rock.
