Give Credit to Individuals on their income taxes that provide receipts for purchasing Organic Foods

Created by J.W. on December 07, 2014

My description for this petition is quite simple yet very important. Due to the fast pace and changes in America today, most people and children don't exercise and eat right. Though the government has announced public statements towards improving health and eating right, I feel we need to do more. Since Health is vital and important to everyone, why can we not allow tax credits to individuals that show proof they buy organic foods to eat healthier and better. The problem I see is that everyone wants to eat well but not everyone can afford to do so. Unfortunately the stores are not trying to lower the prices for the healthier foods. Families choose the lower priced unhealthy foods currently which needs to change. Giving tax credits may be the answer.
