Buy chicken from only organic chickens that have been fed 100% organic food and are not given antibiotics. Omnivore chickens eat both animals and plants. A digestive tract that is omnivorous includes a crop, proventriculus and gizzard. It also contains small intestines, large intestines, and anus.

What you need to know about organic foods

Organic foods are plants and animals grown without pesticides, chemical fertilizers, or additives. They are produced without genetic engineering or the application of ionizing radiation. It must not contain any artificial colours, flavour enhancers, flavor enhancers, and preservatives. It should not include genetically modified organisms (GMOs).

When Justus von Liebig, a chemical chemist, coined "organic", which means "life-giving," to describe the properties in manure, the term "organic" was used for the first time. Most people associate organic production with food. Organic means the product has only natural substances like proteins, carbohydrates, and fats that are found in nature.

The consumption of organic foods has risen dramatically in the past decades. Recent statistics indicate that approximately half of the world’s population eats at least one organic food per day. This figure is on the rise and it is predicted to grow to 70%, 88%, and 90% in 2020.

There are many reasons consumers choose organic products. Some prefer the flavor, while others prefer them because they are healthier. Others also believe organic farming makes it more sustainable. However, there are also ethical concerns regarding the treatment of farm workers and animals, which is why some consumers opt for non-organic products.

While organic food is generally more expensive than traditional foods, prices do vary depending upon where you live. There are many factors that affect the cost of organic food. One is the availability and cost of land that can be used for organic agriculture. The cost of inputs and labor required for organic cultivation is another factor. The cost of transportation, marketing, and taxes are just a few other factors. In Europe, for example, organic food prices are 10% more than regular food.
