Frequently Asked Questions
Are organic foods healthier?
The Environmental Working Group's most recent report on pesticide residues found in food shows that organic fruits and veggies had almost half the pesticide content of non-organic. The Environmental Working Group found that organic apples contained eight-times less pesticides than other non-organic fruits, and organic strawberries had fourfold more than their conventional counterparts.
Some studies also suggest that eating organic food helps reduce your exposure to toxic metals, such as mercury and lead. For example, one study showed that children who ate organic meat had 33 percent lower blood lead levels than those who didn't consume organic meats. A second study found that conventional fish should be avoided by pregnant women due to the high levels of mercury.
Overall, organic food does seem to be safer than its non-organic counterpart. Experts recommend that fresh produce and vegetables be used whenever possible to reduce your chances of developing cancer.
What are the most loved organic products?
Today organic food is the fastest-growing sector. There is still much to be done, even though we have come so far from our roots.
Organic products are the future. Organic products are safer and better for the environment. They also make it more affordable for consumers.
But they also tend to be higher priced. That's why we created the Organic Food Index. We wanted to find out which foods are most popular with shoppers today, and whether these trends are changing.
The results of the study show that organic food has become more popular. Between 2011 & 2012, almost half of Americans purchased organic food.
According to USDA, organic food production increased by 10% only last year. Organic food now accounts for 9% of U.S. agricultural output.
Organic food is certainly on the rise but consumers are still not able to afford it. The average retail price for organic food is almost twice that of conventional foods, according to the Organic Trade Association (OTA).
However, organic food is growing more quickly than any other part of the food market. If you examine the data closely, you will see that organic foods have grown steadily in consumption since 2009.
According to OTA's data, organic products sold in supermarkets grew at 14% between 2010 - 2011.
This is because consumers are looking for healthier foods. Organic food sales have been increasing in all age groups.
Younger generations are also leading the way in organic food choices. Millennials are twice as likely than baby boomers to buy organic foods. Young adults below 35 years of age account for 25%.
Are organic meats better?
If you have been paying attention for long enough, you will probably know the answer. This is the crux of it: organic food has been growing in popularity while conventional food has fallen out of favor.
The reason why organic foods continue to rise in popularity is that they are healthier for us. Organic products are not only safer for our health but also reduce pollution and waste.
But there are two sides to this coin. Organic produce is more difficult to grow and takes more resources. Organic food is generally more expensive than nonorganic.
Organic meats can be more expensive that those from conventionally raised animals. But there are ways to cut costs without sacrificing quality.
Buy local to save money. Locally grown fruit and vegetables help lower the price of produce, as farmers are often given incentives to grow better crops.
You can also look for deals to reduce costs. Organics often come with discounts.
Consuming less meat is another way to save cash. Because of the amount of feed required to raise livestock, meat production can become expensive.
There are many reasons why organic food is better for our bodies and the planet, but we should be careful not to overlook the cost.
What should I look out for when buying organic products?
USDA-certified organic label are desirable. This guarantees that the product meets certain USDA standards. Look for the "USDA Organic" seal on packages, boxes, cartons, cans, and jars.
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 four stomach compartments: rumen, reticulum, omasum, and abomasum. All parts of an animal must be organically fed if the cow is going to be labelled '100% organic.'
Make sure you only buy chicken from chicken farms that are fed organically and have never been given antibiotics. Omnivore chickens can eat both plants as well as animals. A digestive tract that is omnivorous includes a crop, proventriculus and gizzard. It also contains small intestines, large intestines, and anus.
It is important to ensure that dairy products are from cows that were fed 100% organic feed. Like ruminants, dairy cattle have four stomachs. The fourth stomach compartment is the udder.
You should always check the label before purchasing any other livestock. This will let you know what percentage of the diet was given to the animals. For example, pork may be labelled '95% organic.' This means 95 percent of the pig's feed came from organic sources.
Why should I go organic?
There have been many health problems linked to conventional farming, including allergies, asthma, diabetes, obesity, cancer, birth defects and hormone imbalances. When buying food, you must make wise choices.
The Environmental Working Group has the following tips for choosing "cleaner" food.
Always purchase organic fruits, vegetables and other products whenever possible.
Look for USDA organic labels on meat, poultry, eggs, milk, cheese, yogurt, butter, and honey.
Avoid processed foods marked "natural" or with "no additives."
Carefully review ingredient lists. If an ingredient is not listed, it can be added during processing.
Fresh meats are better than canned or frozen. Cans and frozen foods are often less nutritious than fresh meats, such as high fructose corn syrup.
What is organic?
Organic meat is real food grown without pesticides, artificial fertilizers, or hormones. It also means the animals were not fed any genetically modified foods. This means that the meat is safe for consumption as there aren’t any harmful chemicals.
Organic meats are also better for our environment. When we eat organic foods, we reduce the pollution in landfills, rivers, lakes, etc. Organic farmers generally don't use toxic chemicals that kill birds and insects. We help to protect wildlife.
It is best to buy organic meats locally as much as possible. Local purchases help keep more money within the community than traveling out of state. Local businesses often pass along savings to customers when shopping locally. In addition, buying local keeps jobs right here in America instead of sending them overseas.

- As for organic meat, regulations require that animals be raised in living conditions that accommodate their natural behaviours (like the ability to graze on pasture), fed 100% organic feed and forage, and not administered antibiotics or hormones. (usda.gov)
- Nutrients like omega-3 fatty acids were up to 50 percent higher in organic meats and milk than in conventionally raised products.[3] (en.wikipedia.org)

How To
What happens to your Body When You Switch To Organic Products?
Organic products do not contain synthetic fertilizers or hormones. They come from clean water sources and free-range animals. The term "organic", which means they don't contain additives or chemicals, refers to their non-containing any. This product was naturally produced and contains no harmful chemicals.
The term "natural", refers only to how food was grown. It is usually used to describe foods that haven't been processed into their final form (e.g., fruits). Natural foods are often fresher because they're not subject to heat radiation, chemical preservatives or any other treatment. Some people don't believe that natural means healthy. Experts agree that organic and conventional foods are very similar. Both types of food have been tested for safety and quality. Organic produce has less pesticide residues and pollutant than conventionally grown food.
Most grocery stores now sell organic products. For organic meats, poultry, eggs and seafood, you should check with your local supermarket. Some companies sell only organic products; others have separate sections for them. Look for USDA Certified Organic, Non-GMO Project Verified, Biodynamic Association Certified, Rainforest Alliance Certified, etc.
These items should be avoided if you're pregnant or breastfeeding. Unborn babies and infants can be exposed to pesticides.
