Frequently Asked Questions
Are organic meats better?
If you've been paying attention for any time, you probably already know the answer to this question. But here's the rub, organic food is becoming more popular while conventional food continues to fall out of favour.
Organic foods continue to be popular because they offer a healthier alternative. Organic products are not only safer for our health but also reduce pollution and waste.
There are two sides to the coin. Organic produce takes longer and requires more resources. This means organic food will cost more than its non-organic counterpart.
Organic meats are typically higher priced than conventionally raised animals. But, you can reduce the cost of organic meats without compromising quality.
Locally grown produce is a great way to save money. Locally grown produce helps to keep the prices down because farmers are given incentives to grow healthy crops.
Look for bargains to cut down on costs. There are often discounts offered when purchasing organics.
Finally, another way to save money is by eating less meat. Because of the amount of feed required to raise livestock, meat production can become expensive.
While there are many reasons organic food is better for our bodies as well as the planet, we must not forget the cost.
What should I be looking out for when shopping organic products
Look for USDA-certified organic labels. This certifies that the product has met certain standards set by USDA. On packages, boxes, cartons or cans, look out for the USDA Organic seal.
When shopping for meat ensure it comes only from cows that are fed 100% organic feed. Cattle are ruminants. This means they chew the cud. Ruminant cattle can be found with four stomach compartments: the rumen, the reticulum, omasum, abomasum and omasum. If the cow is to be labeled "100% organic", all of its parts must have been organically fed.
When buying chicken, make sure it comes only from chickens fed 100% organic feed and never 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. Like ruminants, dairy cattle have four stomachs. The fourth stomach compartment is the udder.
Check the label when purchasing livestock of any other type to find out what percentage was used in the animal's diet. For example, pork may be marked "95% organic" to indicate that 95 percent of the pork's feed is organic.
Is organic food healthy?
There are two types. One is those that we grow ourselves, and the other is those that we buy from someone else. Although there are exceptions to each category, most of the answers to your question are yes. Organic food is healthier since it doesn't include any harmful chemicals.
Organic food can be found in supermarkets throughout North America, Europe and Asia. Organic food is now available in most grocery stores, making it easier to find organic foods.
Organic food tastes better and is more nutritious, as it has higher levels of vitamins and minerals. Organics can be grown without pesticides or synthetic fertilizers. This ensures that organics do not pollute our soil or water supply.
The USDA regulates organic farming practices. They require farmers to follow strict guidelines so that organic produce can be eaten safely. There are over 30,000,000 acres of US agricultural land that has been certified organic.
Organic food is often more affordable than conventional food. The same amount of nutrients, calories, and protein is being offered by organic food, but consumers are often paying less. Organic farms are able to charge lower prices for their crops because they don't have to purchase expensive chemical inputs like insecticides and fungicides.
According to the Environmental Working Group Organic food is actually 10 percent more expensive per pound than conventionally grown food. Consider switching to organic foods if you are concerned about your health and the well-being of your family.
Organic food has been a popular alternative for standard American diets. Organic food is not only available in gourmet restaurants and specialty markets, as many people may believe. Organic food can easily be found in any regular grocery store across the United States.
In recent years organic food sales increased substantially. In 2012, the US market value for organic food was $43 Billion. This is an increase of $21 Billion from 2007.
Is organic the same as pesticide-free?
Organic food is organic and free of pesticides. This means that organic foods are not subject to chemical pesticides or fertilizers.
Because organic produce is free of harmful additives, it also has more nutrients than conventionally grown foods.
The USDA National Organic Program (NOP) requires farmers to follow strict guidelines for growing crops certified as organic.
These guidelines include soil preparation and crop rotation, pest management, water conservation, as well as harvesting practices.
In addition, organic farming methods promote healthy ecosystems, which benefit wildlife and natural habitats.
What are organic beauty items?
Organic Beauty Products contain natural ingredients without artificial chemicals, such as parabens and phenoxyethanol. These ingredients are common in cosmetics such as shampoos, perfumes, and cosmetics.
Organic beauty products do not require animal testing and are free of genetically modified 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.
In recent years, there has been an increasing demand for eco-friendly beauty products because of the harmful effects of chemical substances on our bodies.
These include allergies, cancer, skin irritation, hormonal imbalance, early aging, and skin irritation.
Organic beauty businesses are committed to providing safe, healthy products that consumers can use while protecting the environment.
Is organic food better for us?
According to the Environmental Working Group, organic vegetables and fruits had half the amount of pesticides as non-organic. Organic strawberries contained four times more pesticides that their conventional counterparts, and organic apples contained eight percent less.
Other studies suggest that eating organic food reduces exposure to toxic metals like lead and mercury. 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 traditional fish should not be consumed by pregnant women, due to high mercury levels.
Organic food appears to be more safe than non-organic. Experts recommend that you choose fresh fruits and vegetables whenever possible to lower your chance of developing cancer or other diseases.

How To
What happens to your Body When You Switch To Organic Products?
Organic products are produced without the use of pesticides and synthetic fertilizers. They come only from natural sources of water and free-range animals. They are organic because they don't contain any additives or chemicals. This product was created by nature, and therefore does not contain harmful substances.
The term "natural" refers to how food is grown. It is used to describe food that has not been processed into its final form, such as fruits. Natural foods are often more fresh than others, because they haven’t been processed with heat, radiation or chemical preservations. Natural doesn't necessarily have to be healthy, however. Many experts say there isn't much difference between conventional and organic foods. Both types can be tested for safety and quality. Organic produce is less likely to contain pesticide residues and pollutants than conventionally grown produce.
Most grocery shops now carry organic options. For organic meats, poultry, eggs and seafood, you should check with your local supermarket. Some companies offer only organic products while others have separate sections. USDA Certified Organic, Non GMO Project Verified. Biodynamic Association Certified. Rainforest Alliance Certified.
These foods should be avoided by women who are pregnant or breast-feeding. Pesticides are known to affect unborn babies and infants.
