Healthy, protected life and respect for nature are pertinent to reducing the probability of ‘unwanted gifts’. At the same time, an average user of non-organic foods is not necessarily exposed and hurt by chemicals in high contents, which usually present in plant material and do harm to both plants and animals. Yet, it still means that if we want to relate to well-being and
