Frequently Asked Questions
Is organic produce healthy?
There are two types of foods; those we grow ourselves and those we buy from someone else. There are exceptions, but the majority of the time, both options will be available. Organic food is healthier because it doesn't contain any harmful chemicals, pesticides, herbicides, preservatives, or genetically modified organisms (GMO).
You can find organic foods in supermarkets across North America. Most grocery stores now carry organic food, making it easier for consumers to choose organic products.
Organic food is also better tasting and more nutritious because it contains higher levels of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. Organics are grown without using pesticides and fertilizers. They also don't pollute soil or water.
Organic farming is regulated by the USDA. Farmers must follow strict guidelines to ensure safe eating. There are over 30 million acres of US organic farmland.
Organic food is often cheaper than traditional food. Customers pay less for the same amount in calories, protein and nutrients. Organic farms can charge lower prices for their crops since they aren't required to pay for expensive chemical inputs such as insecticides or fungicides.
In fact, according to the Environmental Working Group, organic food costs 10 percent less per pound than conventionally produced food. If you care about the health of yourself and your family, consider switching to organic food.
Organic food is a popular choice to traditional American cuisines. Although many may think that organic food is only available at specialty markets and gourmet restaurants, this isn't true. Organic food can be purchased in most grocery stores across the United States.
Recent years have seen a significant increase in organic food sales. Organic food market value in the US increased from $21 billion to $43 billion in 2007 to reach $43 billion in 2012.
What is organic?
Organic meat is food that has not been treated with pesticides or artificial fertilizers. It also means that the animals weren't fed any genetically modified feed. This makes it safe for human consumption because there aren't any harmful chemicals in the meat.
Organic meats are healthier for our environment. Eating organic foods helps reduce pollution in the environment, such as rivers and lakes. Organic farmers generally don't use toxic chemicals that kill birds and insects. We help to protect wildlife.
Locally purchasing organic meats is the best way to make sure you are eating healthy and organic meats. Local purchases help keep more money within the community than traveling out of state. Local businesses often pass down savings to customers when they shop locally. Buy local to save jobs and not send them overseas.
What's the difference between organic foods and inorganic food?
Organic food does not contain pesticides, chemical fertilisers, sewage waste, irradiation, genetic modification. Organic farming practices promote soil health, water quality and animal welfare.
Inorganic foods may be grown with chemical fertilizers, pesticides, or sewage sludge. Irradiated foods are treated with radiation; genetically modified organisms (GMO) are created through biological engineering techniques.
The term "natural", often used interchangeably to mean "organic," is frequently used. But natural does not necessarily imply organic. Natural products can also be labeled with synthetic ingredients.
Organic produce is typically more nutritious than conventional produce because the soil contains fewer harmful chemicals and pesticides. Organic farmers don't use any artificial fertilizers, hormones or antibiotics.
Statistics
- Once certified by the USDA, it can fall into one of four categories: "100 percent organic", "organic," "made with organic ingredients," or "made with less than 70 percent organic ingredients. (en.wikipedia.org)
- According to a study performed by consumerreports.org, organic products, compared to non-organic products, ranged anywhere from 13 percent cheaper to 303 percent more expensive. (en.wikipedia.org)
- 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
Are there any downsides to organic products?
The benefits of organic food are well known. However, there are also some drawbacks. These include higher consumer costs, lower quality standards and fewer options.
You can't go wrong with wanting more options when it comes grocery shopping. But we've been programmed to expect cheap food that tastes terrible. This is why grocery stores are stocked with the same prepackaged products.
Organic food is popular because it is healthier and tastes better. How do you convince people that it is worth the extra effort?
Well, you could tell them that organic food costs more. But that doesn't explain why organic food tastes better. This might make them suspicious about your motives.
It would be better to highlight its benefits. Organic food is richer in nutrients and contains fewer pesticides and antibiotics. Organic food is healthier for you and your environment because it doesn't contain synthetic fertilizers or herbicides.
Many people avoid organic food because they assume it's too expensive. If they take into account the health benefits, however, they might decide that spending a few extra dollars per week is worthwhile.
Organic food tastes better, because it's made under strict guidelines to prevent contamination. Organic food tends to have more vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and other nutrients.
Organic food tastes better because it is picked later in the season. This makes it more fresh and easy to digest.
Finally, organic food is generally cheaper because farmers grow it organically, which requires less labour and fertilizer.
