Frequently Asked Questions
Organic meat is better
You probably know the answer if you have been paying attention for a while. The problem is that organic food is increasingly popular, but conventional food continues its decline.
The reason why organic foods continue to rise in popularity is that they are healthier for us. Organic foods are also safer for our overall health and reduce pollution.
However, this coin has two sides. Organic produce takes longer and requires more resources. Organic food is more expensive than non-organic.
Organic meats are typically higher priced than conventionally raised animals. However, there are ways to reduce these costs without sacrificing quality.
Local purchases can help you 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. When you purchase organics, there are often discounts.
A third way to save money on meat consumption is to eat less. The feed required to raise cattle can make meat production expensive.
There are many reasons that organic food is better than regular food for our bodies, and also for the planet. However, it is important to remember the price.
What are some things I should look out for when purchasing organic goods?
USDA-certified organic labels 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.'
Chicken should be only purchased from chickens raised on organic feed, and not given antibiotics. Chickens can eat both animal and plant food. Omnivorous chickens possess a digestive tract made up of a crop.
You should ensure you only buy dairy products made from milk that has been produced by cows who have been fed 100% organically grown food. Just like ruminants, dairy cows also 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 marked "95% organic" to indicate that 95 percent of the pork's feed is organic.
Why should you buy organic?
Many health issues have been linked to conventional agriculture, including obesity, diabetes and cancer. You must make healthy choices when buying food.
The Environmental Working Group offers these tips:
Buy organic fruits and vegetables whenever possible.
USDA organic labels for meat, poultry eggs, milk and cheese as well butter and honey are recommended.
Avoid processed foods that are labeled "natural" or "no added ingredients."
Always read the ingredient lists. It is possible to add an ingredient during processing if it isn't already listed.
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.
What is inorganic foods?
Organic food is made without pesticides or artificial fertilizers. These chemicals can be harmful for your health.
Organic food can be grown without chemical fertilizers, pesticides herbicides, fungicides, and other harmful substances. These chemicals can harm humans and animals.
Inorganic food includes meat, fish, eggs, milk, cheese, butter, yogurt, honey, grains, vegetables, fruits, spices, and herbs.
Organic refers to how an agricultural product was grown. Organic farming is based on natural methods, soil amendments, and crop growth. Conventional farming uses pesticides, fertilizers, and chemicals.
Foods labeled as organic must meet strict guidelines by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). According to the National Organic Program Standards all organic food must be free of banned materials such as antibiotics growth hormones genetically modified organisms GMOs, and industrial solvents. Organic food must be grown without the use of toxic chemicals or petroleum-based fertilizers.
What are the most popular organic products?
Organic food is the fastest-growing industry today. Even though we have come a long ways from our roots there is still plenty of room for growth.
Organic products are the future. They are safer, better for our environment, and more affordable for consumers.
But they also tend to be higher priced. 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, nearly half of Americans shopped for organic foods.
According to USDA, organic food production increased by 10% only last year. Organic food now accounts for 9% of U.S. agricultural output.
Although organic food is gaining popularity, it appears that consumers still have to pay a premium for it. The Organic Trade Association (OTA) reports that organic food retail prices average almost double the price of conventional foods.
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 due to consumer demand for healthier food, which explains why organic foods sales are rising across all age groups.
Younger generations are choosing organic food more often than older generations. Millennials have twice the likelihood of buying organic food as baby boomers. Young adults aged below 35 account for 25%.

Are there any negatives to buying organic goods?
The benefits of organic food are well known. However, there are also some drawbacks. These include higher prices for consumers, lower quality standards, and fewer options.
There's nothing wrong with wanting more variety when it comes to groceries. We're conditioned to expect low-quality foods that taste bad. That's why you'll find most grocery stores stocked with identical prepackaged products.
But today, organic food is becoming increasingly popular because it offers better nutrition and tastes great. How do you convince people that it is worth the extra effort?
Well, you could tell them that organic food costs more. Organic food tastes better, but that doesn't make it any less expensive. They might be suspicious of your motives.
Instead, highlight its strengths. Organic food is richer in nutrients and contains fewer pesticides and antibiotics. Plus, it's grown without synthetic fertilizers and herbicides, which means it's healthier for us and our environment.
Organic food is often avoided because it's too costly. They may find that spending just a few dollars per Week is worthwhile if they consider the health benefits.
Organic food tastes better because it is produced according to strict guidelines. Organic food tends to have more vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and other nutrients.
Organic food is also better for you because it's picked later. This makes the food more fresh and easier to digest.
