Organic.org
First Impressions- The site is very easy to understand and navigate, the layout is well done. The tabs all look very useful and informative. I don't see any ad's or distracting information. The URL is a .org, which naturally gives the site some credibility.
Gather Information- I clicked a link called "The top 10 reasons to support organic in the 21st century". The first things listed were authors and sources. The sources looked credible considering they are from the Organic Trade Association and the Organic Farming Research Foundation.
Quote- "Organic farmers don't receive federal subsidies like conventional farmers do. Therefore, the price of organic food reflects the true cost of growing."- Organic.com
Embed- A large deterrent for eating organic fruits and vegetables is the high price compared to conventional (non-organic) prices. The price of organic food is unfairly high considering "Organic farmers don't receive federal subsidies like conventional farmers do. Therefore, the price of organic food reflects the true cost of growing (Organic Myths)."

Part Two:
Palmer, Sharon. "New Study Reaffirms Benefits Of Organics." Environmental Nutrition 38.10 (2014): 2. Academic Search Premier. Web. 13 Oct. 2015.
Evaluate- The article I read was called "New Study Reaffirms Benefits of Organics" it was written by scientist at Newcastle University. The information in the article was very "to the point". The quality of writing was high and professional.
Compare- The information in this article was more more specific. The article talked specifically about how organic food produced more antioxidants. The website talked vaguely about organic food in general, and the benefits. Both the article and the website were biased towards organics, talking more about the benefits rather than possible negatives.
