What is an inorganic food?

Organic food is grown without pesticides and artificial fertilizers. These chemicals may be harmful to your health and can also be found in non-organic foods.

Organic food is grown naturally without harmful substances such as chemical fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides, or fungicides. These chemicals can be dangerous for both humans and animals.

Inorganic food includes meat, fish, eggs, milk, cheese, butter, yogurt, honey, grains, vegetables, fruits, spices, and herbs.

Organic refers the way an agricultural product grows. Organic farming is based on natural methods, soil amendments, and crop growth. Conventional farming uses pesticides, fertilizers, and chemicals.

Organic foods must comply with strict guidelines set forth by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. The National Organic Program Standards require that all organic foods are free of prohibited substances such as antibiotics and growth hormones, genetically modified organisms or industrial solvents. Organic food must not be produced with toxic chemicals, petroleum or sewage sludges or ionizing radioactive substances.

How do I know if my produce is organic?

If you want to make sure that you are buying organic produce, look for these three labels:

USDA Organic Certified- This product has been certified organic by the USDA.

Certified Naturally Grown – Produce that meets strict organic standards but has not received USDA certification.

Pastured/Free-range - Made from animals that graze on grass and herbs outdoors.

These labels indicate that the product meets specific criteria, which include:

• No pesticides nor synthetic fertilizers
• No genetically modified organisms
• The animal is never given antibiotics
• Animals are never given hormones.
• There are no growth-promoting drugs
• No feed additives
• No artificial ingredients
• No irradiation
• There's no sewage waste sludge
• No GMOs
• There have never been any antibiotics given.
• No hormones ever given
• There are no growth-promoting drugs
• No feed additives
• No artificial ingredients
• No sewage waste (if it's non-GMO).
• No irradiation

Is organic food healthier?

There are two types: foods that we grow and those that we purchase from others. While there are exceptions, the general answer is yes to both. Organic food is healthier because it doesn't contain any harmful chemicals, pesticides, herbicides, preservatives, or genetically modified organisms (GMO).

You can find organic food in supermarkets across North America, Europe, Asia, Latin America, and Africa. Organic food is now available in most grocery stores, making it easier to find organic foods.

Organic food is healthier and tastes better because it contains more vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and other nutrients. 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 agriculture practices. This means that farmers must adhere to strict guidelines to make sure organic produce is safe to consume. There are currently more than 30,000,000 acres of US farmland which have been designated organic.

As an added benefit, organic food is often much cheaper than conventional food. Consumers are paying less for the same amount of calories, protein, and nutrients. Organic farms don't have the expense of expensive chemical inputs, such as insecticides and/or fungicides. They can charge lower prices.

In fact, according to the Environmental Working Group, organic food costs 10 percent less per pound than conventionally produced food. Switching to organic food is a smart move if you care about your health and that of your family.

Organic food has become a popular alternative to standard American diets. Many people believe that organic food can only be found in specialty markets or gourmet restaurants. This is false. You can easily purchase organic food in regular grocery stores throughout the United States.

The sales of organic food have increased dramatically in recent years. In the US, organic food sales reached $43Billion in 2012, an increase of $21Billion in 2007.

What are the top organic products?

Today, organic food is the fastest growing industry. There is still much to be done, even though we have come so far from our roots.

Organic products are the future. They are safer, healthier for the environment, and easier to afford for consumers.

However, they are also more expensive. The Organic Food Index was created to address this. We wanted to see which foods are most in demand today and how these trends are changing.

The results show that organic food is becoming increasingly popular. Between 2011-2012, nearly half of Americans shopped for organic foods.

According to USDA, organic food production increased by 10% only last year. The U.S. now produces 9% of its agricultural output from organic food.

Organic food is certainly on the rise but consumers are still not able to afford it. According to the Organic Trade Association OTA, organic food retail prices are about twice those of conventional products.

Organic food is growing faster that any other sector of the food industry. You'll notice that organic food consumption has increased steadily since 2009.

According to OTA the volume of organic products sold at supermarkets grew by 14% in 2010 and 2011.

This is because of consumer demand for healthier products, which explains the rise in organic food sales across all age categories.

Younger generations are choosing organic food more often than older generations. Millennials are twice as likely than baby boomers to buy organic foods. Young adults aged below 35 account for 25%.

What are the things to look for when purchasing organic products?

USDA-certified organic labels are desirable. This seal signifies that the product meets specific USDA standards. On all packages, boxes and cartons, look for the USDA Organic seal.

When shopping for meat, ensure it comes from cows fed 100% organic feed. Cattle are ruminants which means that they chew the cud. Ruminant cattle have four stomach compartments: rumen, reticulum, omasum, and abomasum. If a cow is to be labeled organically, all parts must be organically fed.

Chicken should be only purchased from chickens raised on organic feed, and not given antibiotics. Chickens are omnivores, meaning they eat both plants and animals. Omnivorous chickens have a digestive tract composed of a crop, proventriculus, gizzard, small intestine, large intestine, and anus.

When buying dairy products, ensure they come from cows fed 100% organically grown feed. Just like ruminants have four stomachs, dairy cows have four. Milk comes from the fourth stomach compartment--the udder.

Check the label when purchasing livestock of any other type to find out what percentage was used in the animal's diet. One example is pork that may be labeled '95% Organic'. This means that 95 percent came from organic sources.

Statistics

• When packaged products indicate they are “made with organic [specific ingredient or food group],” they contain at least 70% organically produced ingredients. (usda.gov)
• Cosmetic brands such as Laurel and Rose Mira are 100 percent organic and have a wide array of skincare products. (en.wikipedia.org)
• 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 Buy Organic Meat Even on a Limited Budget

In this post, I'll share tips and tricks on buying organic meat without breaking your bank account.

I'll give you some tips about where to find organic meats at a low price and how much it costs per pound. You'll learn how to get the best from what you buy.

For healthy eating, you don’t have to spend a lot. Sometimes you need to be creative in order to save money and still eat healthy. Here are my suggestions for ways to cut food costs while still enjoying the benefits of organic meat.

1. Wholesale clubs - Sams Club, Costco, and Sams Club offer great deals on bulk foods like chicken breasts. 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. You can also freeze the meat if you buy it bulk.
2. Online shopping is a great way to find meat at a discounted price. Amazon, for example, offers Prime Pantry, a weekly deal that includes free shipping on orders greater than $35 They offer discounts for beef roasts and ground beef as well as lamb steaks, lamb steaks, pork loins, and other items. It is easy to browse their website and check out what is on offer at different times.
3. Local farmers often charge less than big box retailers due to the fact that they don't have large overheads for stocking their shelves. Plus, they know exactly what their animals ate and drank, so they know exactly what's inside their bodies.
4. Look for lean cuts of meat. Fatty meats are generally more expensive to cook. So, look for the leanest cuts. These include sirloin, tenderloin, top round, flank, and top-round steaks. These cuts are very low-fat and high in proteins.
5. Try new recipes - Don't be afraid to try new things! You can cut down on your grocery costs by starting to cook with ingredients you don't have before. You'll be surprised at how many delicious dishes can you create using fresh tomatoes.
6. Be creative with leftovers - If you have leftover cooked meat or poultry, use them for sandwiches, salads, soups, casseroles, etc. Remaining meat can be used for quick lunches or dinners.

So, there you are! This is my list of tips to help you afford organic meat, even if your budget is tight. Do you have other tips? Have any other tips for me about where to buy cheap meat?
