Frequently Asked Questions

Why should I buy organic?

Conventional agriculture has been linked to several health problems, including asthma, allergies, obesity, diabetes, cancer, birth defects, hormone imbalances, and other diseases. It is important to make informed choices about food purchases.

Here are some tips from the Environmental Working Group (EWG).

Always purchase organic fruits, vegetables and other products whenever possible.

USDA organic labels for meat, poultry eggs, milk and cheese as well butter and honey are recommended.

Avoid processed foods labelled "natural"/ "no additives."

Be sure to read all ingredient labels. If an ingredient doesn't appear on the list, it could be added to the product during processing.

You should choose fresh meats rather than frozen or canned. Frozen and canned foods often contain less nutrient-rich ingredients like high fructose corn syrup.

Are organic foods better for us?

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. The Environmental Working Group found that organic apples contained eight-times less pesticides than other non-organic fruits, and organic strawberries had fourfold more than their conventional counterparts.

Research has also suggested that organic food may reduce mercury and lead exposure. One study found that organic meats had 33 percent less lead in children than the levels of those who did not eat them. A second study found that conventional fish should be avoided by pregnant women due to the high levels of mercury.

Organic food seems to be safer than the non-organic. However, to reduce your risk of cancer and other diseases, experts recommend choosing fresh fruit and vegetables whenever possible.

Do organic foods have health benefits?

Organic foods may not be healthy for everyone. For those who consume them regularly, however, they can offer certain health benefits.

Organic food is made without pesticides or herbicides, hormones or genetic engineering. This means that organic produce is grown without harmful chemicals that could harm human health.

Also, there are fewer additives that are used in processing. You're more likely to eat organic products than you are non-organic.

Studies have shown that organic foods are more nutritious and rich in antioxidants than fruits and veggies grown from conventional sources.

Even though organic farming methods can be more costly than conventional farming methods they are often more productive. Organic farming increases soil fertility and biodiversity.

This helps conserve water resources and protects against erosion. Organic farms require less fuel and energy because they don't contain toxic chemicals.

Some people worry that organic foods are more expensive than conventional ones. However, prices will vary depending on where one lives. Organic apples, on the other hand, tend to be more expensive that conventional apples.

You'll be able to see the difference in price if you add up all of the fruits in a single basket.

So, should you buy organic?

It all depends on who you are. It doesn't matter if organic food isn't for you.

However, if you enjoy good-tasting food, you can buy organic food. Organic food is safer because organic produce is not grown by commercial growers who use pesticides and chemical fertilizers.

Organic agriculture helps to protect the environment by conserving natural resources, and promoting biodiversity.

What are some things I should look out for when purchasing organic goods?

Look for USDA-certified organic labels. This guarantee that the product has met specific standards set forth by USDA. On packages, boxes, cartons or cans, look out for the USDA Organic seal.

When you shop for meat, ensure that it comes from cows who are fed organic feed. Cattle are ruminants which means that they chew the cud. Ruminant cattle can be found with four stomach compartments: the rumen, the reticulum, omasum, abomasum and omasum. To be labeled '100% organic, all animal parts must be organically nourished.

When buying chicken, make sure it comes only from chickens fed 100% organic feed and never given antibiotics. Omnivore chickens can eat both plants as well as animals. Omnivorous chickens possess a digestive tract made up of a crop.

Buy only dairy products from cows that have been fed organically grown feed. Like ruminants, dairy cattle have four stomachs. 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. Pork may be labeled "95% Organic" which means that 95 percent of its feed was organic.

Is organic food healthy?

There are two types of foods; those we grow ourselves and those we buy from someone else. Of course, there are exceptions to both categories, but for the most part, the answer to your question is yes. 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 can now be found in many grocery stores making it easier for shoppers to choose organic products.

Organic food tastes better and is more nutritious, as it has higher levels of vitamins and minerals. 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 farming practices and requires farmers to follow strict guidelines to ensure that organic produce is safe to eat. There are more than 30 million acres of US farmland that have been certified organic.

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

According to Environmental Working Group, organic food can be 10 percent cheaper per pound when compared to conventionally produced food. Organic food is an option if you want to improve your health and the health of your family.

Organic food is a popular choice to traditional American cuisines. Organic food is not only available in gourmet restaurants and specialty markets, as many people may believe. Organic food can be purchased in most grocery stores across the United States.

In recent years, organic food sales have been on the rise. In the US, organic food sales reached $43Billion in 2012, an increase of $21Billion in 2007.

How To

What happens to the body when you switch over to organic products

Organic products are produced without the use of pesticides and synthetic fertilizers. They come from clean water sources, and are raised on free-range animals. The term "organic", which means they don't contain additives or chemicals, refers to their non-containing any. This product was naturally produced and contains no harmful chemicals.

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 more fresh than other foods because they have not been subject to heat, radiation or chemical preservatives. Natural doesn't necessarily have to be healthy, however. Many experts say there isn't much difference between conventional and organic foods. Both types of food are tested for safety, quality, and purity. Organic produce is safer than conventionally produced produce.

In general, most grocery stores now offer organic options. For organic meats, poultry, eggs and seafood, you should check with your local supermarket. Some companies only sell organic products, while others offer separate sections. USDA Certified Organic is a non-GMO Project Verified company.

These foods should be avoided by women who are pregnant or breast-feeding. Unborn babies and infants can be affected by pesticides.
