Frequently Asked Questions

Is organic meat 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 continue to be popular because they offer a healthier alternative. Organic foods are safer for our bodies and help to reduce pollution.

However, there are also two sides to this coin. Organic produce is more difficult to grow and takes more resources. This means that organic food costs more money than its non-organic counterpart.

Organic meats tend to be more expensive than those raised conventionally. But, you can reduce the cost of organic meats without compromising quality.

Local purchases can help you save money. Buy locally grown vegetables and fruits to help keep prices low. Farmers receive incentives to grow healthier crops.

You can also look for deals to reduce costs. Organics often come with discounts.

You can also save money by eating less meat. Feeding livestock can be very expensive.

There are many reasons that organic food is better than regular food for our bodies, and also for the planet. However, it is important to remember the price.

Why should I go organic?

Many health issues have been linked to conventional agriculture, including obesity, diabetes and cancer. It is important to make informed choices about food purchases.

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

Buy organic fruits and vegetables whenever possible.

USDA organic labels should be used on meat, poultry and eggs as well as milk, cheese, yogurt, butter, honey, and other dairy products.

Avoid processed foods marked "natural" or with "no additives."

Always read the ingredient lists. If an ingredient isn't listed, it may be added during processing.

Frozen and canned meats should be preferred to fresh. Foods that are frozen or canned often have less nutritionally-rich ingredients, such as high fructosecorn syrup.

What are organic fruits?

Organic food does not contain pesticides or synthetic fertilizers. They contain more nutrients such vitamins A, C. E, and, in some cases, omega-3 oils. These nutritious ingredients make organic foods better for our bodies, and for the planet.

Organic foods are grown with sustainable agricultural practices that help to preserve soil quality, and increase biological diversity. They are made without the use of harmful chemicals, irradiation or sewage waste.

Most people associate organics with fruits, but organic products also include dairy, meat and poultry, as well as baked goods, personal care items, pet food and household cleaning supplies.

According to the USDA, "organic" means that crops are raised in compliance with federal standards. These foods cannot be grown by farmers using conventional methods. They can use approved natural pest control methods such as crop rotation, cover cropping and organic animal feed.

Further, the farmer must be careful about the amount of pesticide and fertilizer he uses in the growing season. GMOs, artificial growthhormones, synthetic insecticides, and synthetic fertilizers cannot be used by farmers.

Fruits and vegetables labelled "100% organic" meet all the requirements above. But, not all farms label their produce as 100% organic. It would confuse consumers. They will instead label their product "made with organic ingredients." "

Statistics

When packaged products indicate they are “made with organic [specific ingredient or food group],” they contain at least 70% organically produced ingredients. (usda.gov)
Nutrients like omega-3 fatty acids were up to 50 percent higher in organic meats and milk than in conventionally raised products.[3] (en.wikipedia.org)
Brands participating in this challenge are committed to using 100 percent sustainable cotton by 2025.[5] (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

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

Organic products are produced without the use of pesticides and synthetic fertilizers. They come only from natural sources of water and free-range animals. Organic means that they are free from chemicals and additives. This product was produced by nature and therefore contains no harmful substances.

The term "natural", refers only to how food was grown. It is used to describe food that has not been processed into its final form, such as fruits. Natural foods are more fresh than other foods because they have not been subject to heat, radiation or chemical preservatives. But, not everyone believes that natural foods are healthy. Experts believe there is no difference in organic and conventional food. Both types of food are tested for safety, quality, and purity. But organic produce has fewer pollutants and pesticide residues than conventionally grown produce.

Most grocery stores now carry organic meats and poultry. You can find organic meat, poultry, eggs, and seafood at your local market. Some companies offer only organic products while others have separate sections. USDA Certified Organic and Non-GMO Project Verified are some of the options.

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