Frequently Asked Questions
Organic meat is better
If you've been paying attention for any time, you probably already know the answer to this question. But here's the rub, organic food is becoming more popular while conventional food continues to fall out of favour.
Organic foods are becoming more popular because they are better for us. In addition to being safer for our health, organic products also help the environment by reducing pollution and waste.
However, this coin has two sides. Organic produce takes longer to grow and requires more resources to do so. 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, there are ways to reduce these costs without sacrificing quality.
Local purchases can help you save money. Locally grown fruits and veggies help to lower prices because farmers get incentives to grow good crops.
A great way to save money is to search for deals. You may be able to get discounts when you buy organics.
Finally, another way to save money is by eating less meat. Meat production can be costly due to the feed needed to raise livestock.
Organic food is healthier for the planet and our bodies than conventional food, but it's important to not overlook its cost.
How can you tell organic food from non-organic?
If you ask any chef, he'll tell you there's nothing more important than fresh ingredients. We feel better when our food is good.
The same goes for our food. Organics can be traced back to their source and whereabouts. We also know that it wasn't treated with harmful chemicals.
Organic food is produced without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers. These substances are not allowed for organic farmers.
There is no art in growing organic crops. There are many ways to safely grow organic crops.
Sustainable agriculture is also known as organic farming. 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 techniques reduce soil erosion and increase water quality.
They also reduce chemical contamination of waterways. Local farms can be found in cities that raise organic produce.
Two types of organic product certification programs exist. One is certified through the USDA National Organic Program and the other by independent certifying agents. Both require strict adherence to organic standards.
USDA seals, or O Seals, may be attached to certified organic products. These symbols indicate that the product meets federal requirements.
Why should organic be my first choice?
Conventional agriculture has been linked to several health problems, including asthma, allergies, obesity, diabetes, cancer, birth defects, hormone imbalances, and other diseases. When buying food, you must make wise choices.
Here are some tips from the Environmental Working Group (EWG).
Always buy organic fruits & vegetables.
Look for USDA organic labels on meat, poultry, eggs, milk, cheese, yogurt, butter, and honey.
Avoid processed foods labelled "natural"/ "no additives."
Make sure you read through all the ingredients. If an ingredient isn’t listed, it might be added during processing.
Fresh meats are better than canned or frozen. Many frozen and canned foods contain less nutrients, like high fructose Corn Syrup.
How can I tell if my produce has been certified organic?

- No genetically modified organisms
- No antibiotics are ever given to the animal
- Animals are not ever given hormones.
- No growth-promoting drugs
- No feed additives
- No artificial ingredients

How To
What happens when you switch from conventional products to organic?
Organic products are grown without pesticides, synthetic fertilizers, hormones, antibiotics, or genetic manipulation. They are free-range and come from clean water sources. The term "organic", which means they don't contain additives or chemicals, refers to their non-containing any. This product is natural and does not contain any harmful substances.
The term "natural" refers how food is grown. It's used to describe foods that have not been altered into their final form (e.g. fruits). Natural foods are often more fresh than others, because they haven’t been processed with heat, radiation or chemical preservations. However, some people believe natural doesn't necessarily mean healthy. Many experts say there isn't much difference between conventional and organic foods. Both types have been tested for quality and safety. But organic produce has fewer pollutants and pesticide residues than conventionally grown produce.
Most grocery stores now sell organic products. If you are looking for organic meat, poultry and eggs, check with your local grocery store. Some companies only sell organic products, while others offer separate sections. USDA Certified Organic, Non GMO Project Verified. Biodynamic Association Certified. Rainforest Alliance Certified.
These foods should be avoided by women who are pregnant or breast-feeding. Pesticides are known to affect unborn babies and infants.
