Frequently Asked Questions

Why should I choose organic?

Conventional agriculture has been linked with many health problems including asthma, allergies. Make healthy food choices.

The Environmental Working Group (EWG) offers the following tips on how to pick "cleaner" food:

When possible, buy organic fruits and veggies

USDA organic labels should be used on meat, poultry and eggs as well as milk, cheese, yogurt, butter, honey, and other dairy products.

Avoid processed foods labelled "natural"/ "no additives."

Always read the ingredient lists. It is possible to add an ingredient during processing if it isn't already listed.

Frozen and canned meats should be preferred to fresh. Foods that are frozen or canned often have less nutritionally-rich ingredients, such as high fructosecorn syrup.

What are some things I should look out for when purchasing organic goods?

USDA-certified organic labels are desirable. This seal signifies that the product meets specific USDA standards. Look for the "USDA Organic" seal on packages, boxes, cartons, cans, and jars.

When purchasing meat, ensure it is 100% organic. Cattle are ruminants. This means they chew the cud. Ruminant cattle have four stomach areas: rumen (reticulum), omasum (omasum), and abomasum. Organic feeding must be done on all organs of the animal in order to get the cow labelled organic 100 percent.

Chicken should be only purchased from chickens raised on organic feed, and not given 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.

Buy dairy products that are 100% organically produced. Dairy cows have four stomach compartments, just like ruminants. The fourth stomach compartment--the cow's udder--is where milk is produced.

Check the label when purchasing livestock of any other type to find out what percentage was used in the animal's diet. Pork may be labeled "95% Organic" which means that 95 percent of its feed was organic.

What is organic food?

Organic produce is grown without pesticides, synthetic fertilizers, sewage sludge, irradiation, genetic engineering, or confinement feeding. No growth hormones are used. Animal testing is also not done. These crops are allowed natural growth, so farmers don't use chemicals to kill pests and weeds.

Organic farming practices also maintain soil quality by reducing erosion and conserving water resources. Organics are also better for your health as they contain more nutrients that conventional food. Organic products have a higher fiber content and are lower in calories and fat than conventionally manufactured ones.

How can I determine if my produce was organic?

These three labels are essential if you want to be certain that you are purchasing organic produce.

USDA Organic Certified – Produced by USDA and certified as 100% organic.

Certified Naturally Grown: Produce that has been grown in accordance with organic practices, but has yet to receive certification from USDA.

Pastured/Free Range – Produced from animals that live outdoors and graze on grasses or herbs.

These labels indicate whether the product meets certain criteria.

• No synthetic pesticides and fertilizers
• There are no genetically modified organisms
• No antibiotics are ever given to the animal
• Animals are not ever given hormones.
• There are no growth-promoting drugs
• No feed additives
• No artificial ingredients
• No irradiation
• No sewage sludge
• GMOs not allowed
• Antibiotics have never been administered
• No hormones ever given
• No growth-promoting drugs
• No feed-additives
• No artificial ingredients
• No sewage effluent (if it isn't a GMO).
• No irradiation

How To

5 Reasons Why You Should Buy Organic Products

Organic foods do not use pesticides or synthetic fertilisers. They contain no genetically modified or irradiated food ingredients. Their production methods do not involve sewage sludge or industrial solvents. The food's natural environment is protected from contamination during its growth cycle. It does not contain artificial preservatives or additives. There is no use of antibiotics or hormones. They are also grown in conditions that ensure they retain their nutritional value for longer periods of time.

1. Health benefits. Nonorganic produce has more chemicals than organic. Organic produce is healthier. This means it's less likely to cause allergies and sensitivities. This means you're also consuming less toxic and carcinogens.
2. Eco-friendliness. Organic produce is low in water consumption. Organic farms are located far from cities where there is a lot of pollution, because they require so much energy to grow. This reduces air pollution.
3. Sustainability. Organic farming relies more on soil fertility than chemical fertilizers. This results is healthier soils with higher organic matter. The rotation of crops and the letting of land fallow can improve soil health. When farm animals eat only grasses and grains raised without any added hormones or antibiotics, they develop strong immune systems.
4. Taste. Traditional fruits and vegetables are often bland due to the fact that they are picked at peak ripeness and shipped long distances for grocery stores. Because it was picked while still unripe, organic produce is richer and more flavorful.
5. Nutrition. GMOs, BPA, and other harmful chemicals are often found in conventional processed foods. Stick to whole foods, including meat, eggs fish, nuts seeds, beans and fruit.
