'''POV/Source''' The author appears to be mostly neutral, yet seems to advocate organics to some level.
  
'''POV of source:''' This article is aimed at giving background, but it seems as though the author is in favor of organic foods
+
'''Summary''' Critics point out that the spirit of organics includes a philosophy of food production that promotes ethical treatment of workers and livestock, emphasizes locally grown produce (thereby reducing the amount of fuel required for transportation), and supports small farms. While national organic standards include provisions that ensure humane treatment of animals, animal treatment is not the organic industry's primary focus, says Mary Chestnut, director of outreach for the Humane Farm Animal Care program in Herndon, Va.
  
'''Summary/Reconstruction:''' This article is very resourceful in terms of explaining what organic is and at answering some of the most common questions associated with organic foods. Some of these questions deal with pesticides, nutrient contencts and contamination factors.
