Answer to Question 1

Organically grown fruits today look much better because of the more advanced techniques used in pest control. Also, much of the organically grown food is processed, and because defects can be removed before processing, the consumer never sees the blemishes in the product.

Answer to Question 2

The environmental concerns that have helped drive the growth of the organic agriculture industry include fear that pesticides are harmful to the environment and that they are destroying beneficial insects such as bees, lady beetles, and praying mantises.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
