The great organic paradox is one of those human-society errors which points out our human ability to fool ourselves, and see as far as the tip of our noses. What is considered to be regular fruit and vegetable produce is sold year round, and quite cheaply all over the western world. Organic produce on the other hand, is available only when the specific fruit or vegetable are on season, and the price is usually a little if not a lot higher.
While the industry of the first world has moved "forward" towards mass-production agriculture, it has become the norm to use pesticides on all of our produce. Our apples are full of it, and so are our apple cakes and cider. Our wheat is full of It, and so does our cakes and bread. The first part of the organic paradox is that pesticide-full produce is accepted as the normal food, and we buy it and eat it without giving it a second thought. But it is not the normal produce at all. In nature, all these fruits and vegetables grow without the use of pesticides, and have been for thousands of years. So, we are calling the pesticide-full vegetables with the simple name of - "vegetables", while the real vegetables are called "Organic". If we had anything at all between our ears, we would have it the other way around, where we name organic produce as - "fruits" or "Vegetables", and the pesticide-full produce with its earned name "Poisoned food", or "Eat-at-your-own-risk vegetables". Unfortunately, the industry has a much better deal keeping it as it is.
Organic Fruit
The fact that we pay more for less is another part of this paradox. With our fruits and vegetables, we pay more for the organic produce, in order to get a "diet" version with no pesticides. We like the fruit, but the pesticides is too much. Most of us will still buy the "regular" fruits and vegetables when organic is not to be found, or when it is a bit too expansive. When buying organic, we are not getting more, we are getting less. Less pesticides, less genetically modified cells, less radiation and less poison into our body. Yes, we are paying more to get less, while that new produce is actually the return-to-fashion of the real produce, the one that is supposed to be available out there as nature intended.
Pesticides pose a real threat to our health, a fact that has been proved by many researches. The main reason why we are still buying "regular" pesticide-full produce is that we, as humans, find it hard to see past the tips of our noses, and non-direct damages are hard for us to digest. Touch fire, and the pain is immediate. You learn quick and try avoid touching fire again. Pesticide damage is the result of residue that is collected slowly but surely in our body, as it tries to fight the synthesized materials we put in it. Our body is strong, and can deal with a little at a time. But eventually, sooner or later, illnesses start to appear.
The effects of pesticides on the human body are complex, and many researches are conducted on the subject. I for one, do not need any research to see the logic of it. Anything that is man made is not supposed to be eaten, as humans were not created by humans, and we are a part of a system - The world. Spraying a man made poison on our food and then eating it just do not make sense. Using genetically modified cells from a pig or a cow, putting them in our tomato and then eating it just do not make sense. You do not need to be a scientist to see the error there.
The human paradox is at least as wide as the western society, and the production of pesticides is as crazy as the produce of guns, chemical weapons and plastic bags. We know it is wrong, but we keep on doing it. I hope knowing that eating pesticide-full produce is wrong will make all of us go back to the source and avoid it a hundred percent.
