Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between organic food and inorganic?
Organic food is produced without pesticides, chemical fertilizers, sewage sludge, irradiation, or genetic modification. Organic farming practices support soil health, water quality, and animal welfare.
Inorganic foods are grown with pesticides, chemical fertilizers, and sewage sludge. Radiation is used to treat irradiated food; biological engineering techniques are used to create genetically modified organisms (GMO).
"Organic" and "natural" are often interchangeable. But natural does not necessarily imply organic. Products labelled "natural", however, may contain synthetic chemicals.
Organic produce is typically more nutritious than conventional produce because the soil contains fewer harmful chemicals and pesticides. Organic farmers also don't use synthetic fertilizers or hormones, pesticides, or antibiotics.
Why is organic food so important?
Our health is dependent on organic produce. It is the best option to ensure that we eat nutritious food. It is healthier for us than any pesticides or fertilizers and it is also more eco-friendly.
Organic farming relies on natural methods to cultivate crops, without the use of harmful chemicals. Organic farming is safer for animals and humans because it produces fewer pollutants. When you choose organic food, both you and the earth are protected.
Organic food has many benefits that go beyond health. 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. It means that organic fruits, vegetables and other foods are fresher tasting, more vibrant and last longer.
It's because organic is healthy for you and the planet. It's healthy for you and the planet.
Are organic meats better?
If you've been paying any attention, you likely already know the answer. Here's the problem: Organic food is becoming more sought-after, while traditional food continues to decline in popularity.
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.
There are two sides to the coin. Organic produce takes more time to grow and requires greater resources. This means organic food will cost more than its non-organic counterpart.
Organic meats will typically be more expensive than those that are raised in conventional conditions. However, there are ways to reduce these costs without sacrificing quality.
One way to save money is to buy locally. Buy locally grown vegetables and fruits to help keep prices low. Farmers receive incentives to grow healthier crops.
A great way to save money is to search for deals. You may be able to get discounts when you buy organics.
A third way to save money on meat consumption is to eat less. Because of the amount of feed required to raise livestock, meat production can become expensive.
There are many reasons organic foods are better for our bodies and the environment, but we need to be mindful of the cost.

How To
What happens to your body when you switch to organic products?
Organic products do not contain synthetic fertilizers or hormones. They are free-range and come from clean water sources. The term "organic" means they do not contain any chemicals or additives. This product was created by nature, and therefore does not contain harmful substances.
The term "natural", refers only to how food was grown. This term is often used to refer to foods that are not processed into final forms (such as fruits). Natural foods are often fresher because they're not subject to heat radiation, chemical preservatives or any other treatment. Some people don't believe that natural means healthy. Experts believe there is no difference in organic and conventional food. Both types can be tested for safety and quality. Organic produce is safer than conventionally produced produce.
Most grocery shops now carry organic options. Check with your local market if you want organic meat, poultry, dairy, eggs, and seafood. Some companies only sell organic products, while others offer separate sections. Look for USDA Certified Organic, Non-GMO Project Verified, Biodynamic Association Certified, Rainforest Alliance Certified, etc.
You should avoid eating these items if you are pregnant or nursing. Pesticides have been shown to harm infants and unborn babies.
