Corporate Social Responsibility || Answer the following questions:

 Does this chapter increase or decrease your motivation to consume organic food products? Explain why.

Personally, it does not increase nor decrease my motivation to consume organic food products. Growing up at a rural area where farming is a main source of food and income, I have always been an advocate supporting agricultural products straight from the farm. Most products that we produce are organic because of the natural fertilizers and pesticides used for farming.

What is a more important motivation—in your view—for consuming organic food: a) that it is better for your health, or b) that it is better for the environment and for farmworkers? Explain.

Based on the text, I viewed consumption of organic food as closely similar to conventional food except for processed food. Thus, for me, consuming organic food helps the environment as it does not involve chemicals that may ruin the ozone, the water and air. It will also help the farmers in a way that consumption of organic products will increase their production and their income.

Let us say that, instead of a hospital as our case study example, we had used the example of a wealthy private school for K–12 students. Would the argument be stronger or weaker for adopting organic food in the cafeteria of the school? Why?

 In today’s world, millennial and Gen Z parents are reliant to processed food because they tend to focus on earning more to support the family. If we adopt organic food in the cafeteria of the school, it would help the students gain vitamins and minerals from at school to contrast to the food they take at home. Therefore, this argument is strong because it will help the young parents make sure that their kids are getting the right nutrients for their kids.
