Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference in organic and non-organic foods?
Organic food is grown without the use of pesticides or chemical fertilizers, sewage effluent, radiation, or genetic modification. Organic farming practices contribute to soil health, water purity, and animal welfare.
Inorganic foods are grown with pesticides, chemical fertilizers, and sewage sludge. Radiated foods are those that have been exposed to radiation. Genetically modified organisms, or GMOs, are created using biological engineering techniques.
The term "natural" is often used interchangeably with "organic." However, natural does not necessarily mean organic. Some products labeled "natural" may also contain synthetic ingredients.
Because organic produce contains fewer harmful chemicals, pesticides, and fertilizers than conventional produce it is more nutritious. Organic farmers are free from artificial fertilizers and pesticides.
Do organic foods offer health benefits?
Although organic foods are not for everyone, they can be very healthy. But for those who eat them regularly, there are definite health benefits.
Organic food is produced without artificial fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides, fungicides, hormones, antibiotics, or genetic engineering. Organic produce does not contain harmful chemicals that could be harmful to the human body.
There are also fewer additives used during processing. Organic products are likely to be healthier than nonorganic.
Studies have shown that organic foods are more nutritious and rich in antioxidants than fruits and veggies grown from conventional sources.
While organic farming is more expensive than traditional farming, it often produces better results. Organic farming increases soil fertility and biodiversity.
This helps preserve water resources and prevents erosion. Organic farms don't use toxic chemicals and require less fuel and energy.
People worry that organic foods will be more expensive than those made from conventional food. Prices can vary depending on where you live. For example, organic apples tend to be more expensive than traditional apples.
You'll be able to see the difference in price if you add up all of the fruits in a single basket.
So should you go organic?
It all depends on who you are. If you don't like the taste of organic food, then you probably shouldn't bother.
Organic food is available if you are a fan of good food. Organic food is safer than traditional commercial produce, as they are not subject to chemical pesticides, chemical fertilizers, or genetically modified organisms (GMOs).
Organic agriculture is a way to preserve the environment, conserve natural resources, and encourage biodiversity.
Which are the best organic vegetables?
Organic vegetables are the healthiest and most nutritious foods available to humans. They are the best food on earth.
Organic produce is grown without chemical fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides, fungicides, and GMO seeds. These chemicals pose grave risks for our health and the environment.
Organic produce is also richer in nutrients, vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. This makes them healthier because we absorb these nutrients better when eating organics.
Organic vegetables taste great and are safe to eat. Organic produce is free from known side effects.
Organic fruits and vegetables can be found at all grocery stores. They can be labeled organic if they are grown according to USDA guidelines.
Why should organic be my first choice?
Conventional agriculture has been linked with many health problems including asthma, allergies. When buying food, you must make wise choices.
The Environmental Working Group (EWG), offers these tips to help you choose "cleaner" foods:
Always purchase organic fruits, vegetables and other products whenever possible.
USDA organic labels for meat, poultry eggs, milk and cheese as well butter and honey are recommended.
Avoid processed foods marked "natural" or with "no additives."
Check ingredient lists carefully. If an ingredient doesn't appear on the list, it could be added to the product during processing.
You should choose fresh meats rather than frozen or canned. Foods that are frozen or canned often have less nutritionally-rich ingredients, such as high fructosecorn syrup.
What are organic foods and how do they compare?
Organic produce is free from synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, sewage sludge and confinement feeding. No growth hormones are used. Animal testing is also not done. These crops can be grown naturally by farmers, and they don't need to be treated with chemicals to control pests or weeds.
Organic farming methods also help to preserve soil quality, reduce erosion, and conserve water resources. In addition, organics are better for our health because they contain more nutrients than conventional food. Organic foods are often higher in fiber, lower in fat, and less calories than those produced conventionally.

How To
How to Buy Organic Meat Even on a Limited Budget
In this post I'll share some tips and techniques for buying organic meat that won't break the bank.
You will learn where to buy cheap organic meats, and what they cost per pound. You will be able to make the most of what you have purchased.
You don't need to spend a lot of money to eat healthily. Sometimes creativity is required to make money while still eating healthy. Here are some ways you can cut down on food expenses while still getting the best from organic meat.
- Buy at wholesale clubs - Costco and Sams Club are great places to shop for bulk foods like chicken breasts and pork chops. You may be able to get large quantities of meat for as low as 50 pounds if your home is near one of these stores. This ensures that meat is not wasted. Also, if you buy in bulk, it can be frozen so it lasts for longer.
- Online shopping is a great way to find meat at a discounted price. Amazon has Prime Pantry, a weekly sale that offers free shipping for orders over $35. You can get discounts on ground beef, beef roasts, lamb steaks and pork loins. It's easy to browse their website and see what's available at different times.
- Locate a farmer in your area. Local farmers are usually cheaper than big box retailers as they don’t pay high stocking fees. Plus, they know exactly what their animals ate and drank, so they know exactly what's inside their bodies.
- Look for meat cuts that are leanest - Lean meat is generally cheaper to cook than fatty meat. Therefore, choose the leanest cuts. These include sirloin, tenderloin, top round, flank, and top-round steaks. These cuts are high in protein and low in fat.
- Try new recipes. One of the easiest ways to reduce your grocery bill is to start cooking meals with ingredients you haven't used before. You may be surprised by how many delicious dishes you can come up with using fresh tomatoes, onions, garlic, olive oil, and spices.
- Make your leftovers creative - You can make sandwiches, soups, casseroles, and other dishes with leftover meat or poultry. For quick lunches, leftover meat can be used to make dinners.
So, there you are! These are my top tips for how to get organic meat on a tight budget. Do you have other tips? Do you have any suggestions for me on where to find cheap meat?
