When buying chicken, make sure it comes only from chickens fed 100% organic feed and never 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.

Buy only dairy products from cows that have been fed organically grown feed. Just like ruminants have four stomachs, dairy cows have four. The fourth stomach compartment is the udder.

How To

5 Reasons You Should Buy Organic Products

Organic foods do not use pesticides or synthetic fertilisers. They contain no genetically modified organisms (GMOs) or irradiated ingredients. Their production processes do not include sewage or industrial solvents. The food's natural environment is protected from contamination during its growth cycle. It is free from artificial additives and preservatives. There are no hormones and antibiotics used. In addition, they are produced under conditions that allow them to retain their nutritional value and freshness for longer periods.

1. Health benefits. Organic produce contains less chemicals than nonorganic. This makes it less likely to cause allergies or sensitivities. This means you're also consuming less toxic and carcinogens.
2. Eco-friendliness. Organic produce is low in water consumption. Organic farms are often located far from areas with high levels of pollution because it takes so much energy for conventional agriculture to grow. This reduces air pollution.
3. Sustainability. Organic farming relies less on chemical fertilizers and more on soil fertility. This results with healthier soils with greater organic matter. It is better for soil health to rotate crops and allow the land to fallow regularly. Farm animals that eat only grasses, grains and no antibiotics develop strong immune systems.
4. Taste. The taste of conventional fruits and veggies is often bland. This is because they are picked at the peak of ripeness. They then get shipped long distances to their destination. Organic produce tastes sweeter and more rich because it was picked when it was still young.
5. Nutrition. GMOs and BPA are common in processed foods. Stick to whole foods, including meat, eggs fish, nuts seeds, beans and fruit.
