Frequently Asked Questions

Are organic foods better for us?

According to the Environmental Working Group's latest report on pesticide residues in foods, organic fruits and vegetables had nearly half the level of pesticides compared with non-organic versions. Organic apples had eight times less pesticides than nonorganic apples. However, organic strawberries had four times the amount of pesticides as their conventional counterparts.

Some studies also suggest that eating organic food helps reduce your exposure to toxic metals, such as mercury and lead. One study found that organic meats had 33 percent less lead in children than the levels of those who did not eat them. Another study concluded conventional fish consumption should be stopped by pregnant women because it contains high levels of mercury.

Overall, organic food does seem to be safer than its non-organic counterpart. Experts recommend fresh vegetables and fruits whenever possible in order to reduce the risk of getting cancer.

What's the difference between organic foods and inorganic food?

Organic food is grown without the use of pesticides or chemical fertilizers, sewage effluent, radiation, or genetic modification. Organic farming practices support soil health, water quality, and animal welfare.

Inorganic foods may be grown with chemical fertilizers, pesticides, or sewage sludge. Radiation is used to treat irradiated food; biological engineering techniques are used to create genetically modified organisms (GMO).

"Organic" and "natural" are often interchangeable. However, natural does not necessarily mean organic. Some products labeled "natural" may also contain synthetic ingredients.

Organic produce is usually more nutritious that conventional produce. This is because organic soil contains fewer toxic chemicals and pesticides. Organic farmers do not use pesticides, artificial fertilizers, hormones, anti-biotics, and other harmful chemicals.

What are organic beauty products?

Organic Beauty Products don't contain synthetic chemicals such as parabens. These ingredients can be found in many conventional beauty products such as cosmetics, shampoos and perfumes.

Organic beauty products can also be made without animal testing, and they do not contain any genetically altered organisms (GMO).

The USDA defines organic food as "a system which fosters cycle of resources"; it has been used for decades by the USDA to describe foods that are grown without pesticides.

The harmful effects of chemical compounds on our bodies have led to an increase in the demand for ecofriendly beauty products.

These include skin irritations, cancer, hormonal imbalance, premature aging, and allergies.

Organic beauty businesses are committed to providing safe, healthy products that consumers can use while protecting the environment.

How To

How to afford Organic Meat even when on a Budget

In this post, I'll share tips and tricks on buying organic meat without breaking your bank account.

Here are some tips to help you find low-cost organic meats. Also, how much per pound they cost. You will learn how to make the best out of what you purchase.

You don't need to spend a lot of money to eat healthily. Sometimes it takes creativity to save money and eat well. Here are some ways you can cut down on food expenses while still getting the best from organic meat.

1. Wholesale clubs - Sams Club, Costco, and Sams Club offer great deals on bulk foods like chicken breasts. These stores often offer discounts on large quantities of meat, up to 50 pounds, if you are lucky enough to be near one. You won't have to waste meat. You can also freeze the meat if you buy it bulk.
2. Online shopping is a great way to find meat at a discounted price. For example, Amazon has a weekly deal called Prime Pantry, which includes free shipping on orders over $35. They offer discounts on beef roasts, ground beef, lamb steaks, and pork loins. You can browse their website and view what's on sale at different times.
3. Local farmers often charge less than big box retailers due to the fact that they don't have large overheads for stocking their shelves. Because they know exactly the diets and drinks of their animals, local farmers can provide a better understanding of what's inside.
4. Look for meat cuts that are leanest - Lean meat is generally cheaper to cook than fatty meat. The leanest cuts are therefore preferred. The most commonly used cuts include flank steak, tenderloin and top round steaks. These cuts are low in fat and high-protein.
5. Explore new recipes. Don't be afraid of trying new things. It's possible to reduce grocery expenses by cooking new recipes using ingredients you've never tried before. You'll be surprised at how many delicious dishes can you create using fresh tomatoes.
6. Be creative with leftovers - If you have leftover cooked meat or poultry, use them for sandwiches, salads, soups, casseroles, etc. Leftover meat is perfect for making quick lunches or dinners.

Here you have it! This is my list of tips to help you afford organic meat, even if your budget is tight. Do you have other tips? Any other suggestions?
