What is the difference between organic and non-organic foods?

The difference between Organic and non-organic is that Organic food is grown all naturally which means it isn't sprayed, it isn't injected with anything, the livestock eats what it is supposed to eat, the food has no preservatives.   Non-organic food is the exact opposite of  organic food. Besides that there is another difference; the taste, most people have a preference so it is a thing you have to try you may not like organic apples but you may like organic carrots it all depends on your preference. The third difference is that organic food is usually more expensive but its worth it if you can afford it. The finale difference is that Organic food is usually grown locally because it doesn't have any preservatives.
