What should I look out for when buying organic products?
USDA-certified organic label are desirable. This certification means that the product is certified organic by USDA. On packages, boxes, cartons or cans, look out for the USDA Organic seal.
When you shop for meat, ensure that it comes from cows who are fed organic feed. Ruminants are cattle that chew their cud. Ruminant cattle have 4 stomach compartments: Rumen, reticulum and omasum. If the cow is to be labeled "100% organic", all of its parts must have been organically fed.
You should only purchase chicken that has been raised organically. It must not have ever been treated with antibiotics. Chickens can eat both animal and plant food. The digestive tract of an omnivorous chicken is composed of a crop and proventriculus, gizzard as well as small intestine, large intestinale, and anus.
When buying dairy products, ensure they come from cows fed 100% organically grown feed. Like ruminants and dairy cows, they have four stomach compartments. Milk comes from the fourth stomach compartment--the udder.
If you are buying other types of livestock, make sure to check the label to determine the percentage of their diet. Pork may be labeled "95% Organic" which means that 95 percent of its feed was organic.
Why should I buy organic?
The health risks of conventional agriculture include asthma, allergies and diabetes. It is important to make informed choices about food purchases.
The Environmental Working Group (EWG), offers these tips to help you choose "cleaner" foods:
As much as possible, purchase organic fruits or vegetables
USDA organic labels are required for meat, poultry, eggs and milk.
Avoid processed foods that are labeled "natural" or "no added ingredients."
Be sure to read all ingredient labels. If an ingredient isn’t listed, it might be added during processing.
Choose fresh meats over frozen or canned ones. Foods that are frozen or canned often have less nutritionally-rich ingredients, such as high fructosecorn syrup.

How To
5 Reasons You Should Buy Organic Products
Organic foods do not use pesticides or synthetic fertilisers. They are free from genetically modified organisms and irradiated substances. Their production does not use sewage sludge and industrial solvents. During the growth process, food is kept clean from any contamination. It is free from artificial additives and preservatives. There is no use hormones or anti-biotics. They are also made in conditions that maintain their nutritional value and freshness for longer times.
- Health benefits. Organic produce contains less chemicals than nonorganic. This means that organic produce is less likely cause allergic reactions and sensitivities. You also consume fewer toxic substances and carcinogens.
- Eco-friendliness. Organic produce is low in water consumption. Organic farms are often located far from areas with high levels of pollution because it takes so much energy for conventional agriculture to grow. This helps to reduce air pollution.
- Sustainability. Organic farming relies on soil fertility rather than chemical fertilizers; this results in healthier soils with higher levels of organic matter. It is better for soil health to rotate crops and allow the land to fallow regularly. Strong immune systems develop when farm animals are fed only grasses grown without antibiotics or added hormones.
- Taste. Conventional fruits and vegetables often taste bland because they're picked at peak ripeness, then shipped long distances to grocery stores. Organic produce tastes richer and sweeter because it was harvested while still unripe.
- Nutrition. GMOs and BPA are common in processed foods. You can avoid them by sticking with whole foods such meat, fish, eggs, seafood, seeds and beans, as well as fruits, veggies, herbs, and vegetables.
