Frequently Asked Questions
Is organic meat healthier?
If you've been paying attention for any time, you probably already know the answer to this question. The problem is that organic food is increasingly popular, but conventional food continues its decline.
The reason why organic foods continue to rise in popularity is that they are healthier for us. Organic products are healthier for us and the environment.
However, this coin has two sides. Organic produce takes longer and requires more resources. This means that organic food costs more money 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.
Buy local to save money. Locally grown fruits and veggies help to lower prices because farmers get incentives to grow good crops.
Deals are another way to cut costs. You may be able to get discounts when you buy organics.
You can also save money by eating less meat. Meat production can be costly due to the feed needed to raise livestock.
There are many reasons organic foods are better for our bodies and the environment, but we need to be mindful of the cost.
What are the things to look for when purchasing organic products?
USDA-certified organic labels should be sought. This guarantees that the product meets certain USDA standards. Look out for the USDA Organic seal on boxes, cartons cans and jars.
When buying meat, make sure it is from organically fed cows. Cattle are ruminants. This means they chew the cud. Ruminant cattle are divided into four stomach compartments, the rumen and reticulum as well as the omasum and abmasum. All parts of an animal must be organically fed if the cow is going to be labelled '100% organic.'
Make sure you only buy chicken from chicken farms that are fed organically and have never been given antibiotics. Omnivore chickens eat both animals and plants. A digestive tract that is omnivorous includes a crop, proventriculus and gizzard. It also contains small intestines, large intestines, and anus.
Buy dairy products that are 100% organically produced. Like ruminants, dairy cattle have four stomachs. The fourth stomach compartment--the cow's udder--is where milk is produced.
If you are buying other types of livestock, make sure to check the label to determine the percentage of their diet. One example is pork that may be labeled '95% Organic'. This means that 95 percent came from organic sources.
How do you determine if food has been grown organically?
Any chef will tell you fresh ingredients are more important than any other ingredient. We feel better when our food is good.
This holds true for our food. Organics are traceable back to the source and provenance of their products. We also know that organics were not treated with harmful chemicals.
Organic foods can be made without synthetic pesticides. These substances aren't permitted for organic farmers.
Growing organic crops is an art. There are plenty of ways to grow them safely.
Sometimes, organic farming is called sustainable agriculture. This is because organic farming uses less resources than conventional methods but provides enough nutrients for life to last.
Crop rotation, crop rotation, cover cropping and composting manure are all organic farming methods. These practices help to prevent soil erosion and improve water purity.
They reduce the amount of chemical runoff that can enter waterways. Many of us live in urban areas so we have access to local farms that produce organic produce.
Two types of certification programs are available for organic products. The USDA National Organic Program certifies one, while independent certifying agencies certification the other. Both require strict conformity to organic standards.
USDA seals, or O Seals, may be attached to certified organic products. These symbols indicate that the product meets federal requirements.
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)
- 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)
- 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)

How To
5 Reasons to Buy Organic Products
Organic food is grown without synthetic fertilizers and pesticides. 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. It does not contain hormones or antibiotics. They are also produced in conditions that enable them to preserve their nutritional value, freshness, and quality for longer periods.
- Health benefits. Organic produce contains less chemicals that nonorganic. This means that it is less likely to cause allergies. This also means that you are consuming less toxins and carcinogens.
- 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 helps to reduce the amount of air pollution.
- Sustainability. Organic farming relies less on chemical fertilizers and more on soil fertility. This results with healthier soils with greater organic matter. Soil health improves when farmers rotate crops and leave land fallow periodically. When farm animals eat only grasses and grains raised without any added hormones or antibiotics, they develop strong immune systems.
- Taste. Because they are picked at their peak ripeness and then shipped long distances to supermarkets, conventional fruits and vegetables can often taste bland. Because it was picked while still unripe, organic produce is richer and more flavorful.
- Nutrition. GMOs are harmful chemicals found in many conventional processed foods. Stick to whole foods, including meat, eggs fish, nuts seeds, beans and fruit.
