9. Research (Organic)

     The general topic that has me very interested is Organic food and products. I want to narrow it down to why it's beneficial to everyone to start investing more money into organic farms and markets.  I plan to argue that organic products are more beneficial for consumer's health. The money being invested into them goes a long way into investing into our environment compared to foods being mass produced by major corporations. I have looked at how organic brands go through more rigorous inspections to earn their label. Organic farmers are being bought out by major corporations because of the lack of financial support. If this topic gets approved my next step would be to do more in depth research on how major companies get their products out to their consumers versus how organic farmers get their products out. Seeing if it's worth the extra money being spent by consumers on organic food. I may have a difficult time comparing the two. How I can make an argument and keep focused would be the brick wall i see myself hitting on this subject.
