I have this really long passage about how organic farming started small, but it grew quickly. From 1990 to 2010, sales of organic food in the United States increased from $1 billion to $26.7 billion. Fruits and vegetables represent the biggest percentage of organic foods. About 12 percent of all fruits and vegetables sold in the United States in 2009 were organically grown.

Question

I have this really long passage about how organic farming started small, but it grew quickly. From 1990 to 2010, sales of organic food in the United States increased from $1 billion to $26.7 billion. Fruits and vegetables represent the biggest percentage of organic foods. About 12 percent of all fruits and vegetables sold in the United States in 2009 were organically grown.

I really can't tell if this is a history textbook or a scientific journal! I am beginning to think it is a history textbook because it points out allot or historic dates in which organic foods began to be produced more.

Am I correct Ms. Sue?

Answer 1

I agree -- it seems to be more history than scientific.

Answer 2

Thank you, Ms. Sue, god bless you!

Answer 3

You're welcome, Arthur.

Answer 4

Based on the information you provided, it seems like the passage you have is more likely from a report or an article discussing the growth of organic farming and the sales of organic food. While it does mention some historic dates, it does not provide a detailed historical account. Instead, it focuses on the increase in sales and the specific percentage of fruits and vegetables that were organically grown. History textbooks typically provide more comprehensive historical information and analysis.
