    It is easy to tell when your diet is full of fresh meat/fruits/vegetables vs full of processed foods. I feel more alert and energetic when I eat right.

    I can run trails in Washington Park vs run on a treadmill inside or I can text a friend to go to the gym with me.

    I believe it can. Having witnessed organic farming in action, I think with the right education and sharing of knowledge organic farming definitely can be applied on a large scale.
