So what are organic foods? Organic foods are purely grown naturally from the earth, all nutrients and flavor is taken straight out of the ground. Organic foods do not use chemicals, pesticides, fungicides and 
herbicides.
These sorts of chemicals are not good for your body at all! Pesticides for instance are used to prevent pests from eating the grown food in crops. These chemicals may prevent the pests from eating the food, but we end up eating this which is toxic to the health of us humans.
