Frequently Asked Questions
Are organic foods better?
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. They discovered that organic apples contained eight more pesticides per gram than non-organic ones, while organic strawberries contained four times as many pesticides.
Another study suggests that organic food can reduce exposure to toxic metals such as lead and mercury. A study concluded that children who ate organic meat had 33% lower levels of blood lead than those who didn’t. Another study concluded that pregnant women should avoid consuming conventional fish due to high levels of mercury.
Overall, organic food does seem to be safer than its non-organic counterpart. Experts recommend that you choose fresh fruits and vegetables whenever possible to lower your chance of developing cancer or other diseases.
Why should you buy organic?
Conventional agriculture has been linked with many health problems including asthma, allergies. Healthy choices must be made when purchasing food.

USDA organic labels are required for meat, poultry, eggs and milk.
Avoid processed foods labeled as "natural" or "no additives."
Always read the ingredient lists. It is possible to add an ingredient during processing if it isn't already listed.
It is better to eat fresh meats than canned or frozen. Many frozen and canned foods contain less nutrients, like high fructose Corn Syrup.
Why is organic food so important?
Our health is dependent on organic produce. It's the best method to ensure you eat healthy foods. Not only is it better for us, but it's also more environmentally friendly because it doesn't rely on pesticides and fertilizers.
Organic farming uses natural methods to grow crops without harmful chemicals. Organic farming is safer for animals and humans because it produces fewer pollutants. By choosing organic food, you are protecting the planet as well as yourself.
The health benefits of organic foods go well beyond our bodies. We all know the negative effects that processed foods can have on our health. You might not know this, but organic fruits and vegetables don't have to be treated with chemicals. That means that they taste fresher, look brighter and last longer too.

How To
5 Reasons You Should Buy Organic Products
Organic foods do not use pesticides or synthetic fertilisers. They contain no genetically modified organisms (GMOs) or irradiated ingredients. Their production methods do not involve sewage sludge or industrial solvents. During its growing cycle, the food's natural environment will be protected from contamination. It is free of preservatives as well as artificial additives. It does not contain hormones or antibiotics. They are also made in conditions that maintain their nutritional value and freshness for longer times.
- Health benefits. Organic produce contains less chemicals that nonorganic. This means that organic produce is less likely cause allergic reactions and sensitivities. This also means that you are consuming less toxins and carcinogens.
- Eco-friendliness. Produce grown without pesticides and synthetic fertilizer requires very little water. Because it takes so much energy to grow conventionally, organic farms tend to be located far away from urban areas where there's plenty of pollution. This reduces air pollution.
- Sustainability. Organic farming relies on soil fertility rather than chemical fertilizers; this results in healthier soils with higher levels of organic matter. Soil health improves when farmers rotate crops and leave land fallow periodically. When farm animals eat only grasses and grains raised without any added hormones or antibiotics, they develop strong immune systems.
- Taste. Conventional fruits and vegetables often taste bland because they're picked at peak ripeness, then shipped long distances to grocery stores. Organic produce is sweeter and richer because it was harvested at the peak of its ripeness.
- Nutrition. Many conventional processed foods contain harmful substances like BPA and GMOs. 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.
