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. Here's the problem: Organic food is becoming more sought-after, while traditional food continues to decline in popularity.

Organic foods are more appealing because they are healthier. Organic foods are safer for our bodies and help to 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 can be more expensive that those from conventionally raised animals. However, it is possible to reduce costs without compromising on quality.

Locally grown produce is a great way to save money. Buying locally grown fruits and vegetables helps keep prices low because farmers receive incentives to grow healthy crops.

Another way to cut costs is to look for deals. Many organic products can be purchased at a discount.

Consuming less meat is another way to save cash. 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.

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 promote soil health, water quality and animal welfare.

Inorganic food is grown with pesticides and chemical fertilizers. Radiated foods can be treated with radiation. Genetically modified organisms (GMOs) are created by biological engineering techniques.

The term "natural" is often used interchangeably with "organic." But, "natural" does not necessarily refer to organic. There are also products labelled "natural" which may contain synthetic ingredients.

Organic produce is usually more nutritious that conventional produce. This is because organic soil contains fewer toxic chemicals and pesticides. Organic farmers don't use any artificial fertilizers, hormones or antibiotics.

What are organic products that can be used on the skin?

Organic skincare products are made without synthetic chemicals such as parabens, phthalates, mineral oil, petrolatum, petroleum jelly, propylene glycol, sodium lauryl sulphate, talc, triclosan, titanium dioxide, triethanolamine, vitamin A palmitate, etc.

Organic skincare products can be free of artificial colours and fragrances as well as preservatives, emulsifiers GMOs, Petrochemicals, animal testing (except for cosmetics tested on animals), pesticides hormones, antibiotics, heavy metallics and other contaminants.

They are designed to promote healthy skin, prevent premature wrinkles, heal injuries after they happen, and support overall wellbeing.

Here are some common terms you might encounter when searching for organic products

• Paraben Free is a grouping of chemicals that are used to maintain certain cosmetic products safe, but can be toxic when consumed in large quantities.
• Fragrance-Free - the product does not have added fragrance or essential oils.
• Cruelty-Free: No animals were hurt during manufacturing.
• Natural Ingredients are ingredients that have been naturally extracted from plants or animals.
• Vegan/Vegetarian: The ingredients can be either vegetarian or vegan.

Are organic foods better?

According to the Environmental Working Group's latest report on pesticide residues in foods, organic fruits and vegetables had nearly half the level of pesticides compared with non-organic versions. They found that organic apples contained eight times fewer pesticides than non-organic apples, while organic strawberries were four times cleaner than their conventional counterparts.

Other studies suggest that eating organic food reduces exposure to toxic metals like lead and mercury. For instance, one study showed that children who consumed organic meat had 33% less blood lead levels than children who did not. Another study concluded conventional fish consumption should be stopped by pregnant women because it contains high levels of mercury.

Organic food tends to be healthier than nonorganic. However, to reduce your risk of cancer and other diseases, experts recommend choosing fresh fruit and vegetables whenever possible.

Which organic products are most in demand?

Today organic food is the fastest-growing sector. However, we still have a lot to learn from our roots.

Organic products are the future. Organic products are safer and better for the environment. They also make it more affordable for consumers.

They are also generally more expensive. That is why we developed the Organic Food Index. We wanted the ability to identify which foods are currently most popular and whether these trends have changed.

The results of the study show that organic food has become more popular. Between 2011 & 2012, almost half of Americans purchased organic food.

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

While organic food is certainly gaining ground, it seems that it is still an expensive choice for consumers. According to the Organic Trade Association OTA, organic food retail prices are about twice those of conventional products.

However, organic food is growing more quickly than any other part of the food market. If you look closely at the data, it will be apparent that organic food consumption has steadily increased since 2009.

According to OTA's data, organic products sold in supermarkets grew at 14% between 2010 - 2011.

This is because consumers are looking for healthier foods. Organic food sales have been increasing in all age groups.

However, the younger generation is leading the charge in choosing organic food. Millennials are twice more likely to purchase organic food than baby boomers. The 25% of organic food purchase made by younger adults below 35 are made up of young adults.

Statistics

• 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)
• 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)
• When packaged products indicate they are “made with organic [specific ingredient or food group],” they contain at least 70% organically produced ingredients. (usda.gov)
• Popular clothing brands, like Patagonia, are labelled as organic by using 100 percent organic cotton for many of their styles. (en.wikipedia.org)

What happens to your Body When You Switch To Organic Products?

Organic products are produced without the use of pesticides and synthetic fertilizers. They are derived from clean water and animals that have been free to roam. The term "organic", which means they don't contain additives or chemicals, refers to their non-containing any. This product was produced by nature and therefore contains no harmful substances.

The term "natural" refers how food is 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 than others because they haven't been treated with heat, radiation, or chemical preservatives. Some people don't believe that natural means healthy. Experts aren't sure if there is much to be different between organic and traditional foods. Both types can be tested for safety and quality. Organic produce is safer than conventionally produced produce.

Most grocery stores offer organic options. If you are looking for organic meat, poultry and eggs, check with your local grocery store. Some companies sell only organic products. Other companies have separate sections. USDA Certified Organic is a non-GMO Project Verified company.

If you are pregnant, or nursing, these products should not be eaten. Unborn babies and infants can be exposed to pesticides.
