Frequently Asked Questions
What should I look out for when buying organic products?
Look for USDA-certified organic labels. This certifies that the product has met certain standards set by USDA. Look for the "USDA Organic" seal on packages, boxes, cartons, cans, and jars.
When you shop for meat, ensure that it comes from cows who are fed organic feed. Cattle are ruminants. They eat the whole animal. Ruminant cattle have 4 stomach compartments: Rumen, reticulum and omasum. Organic feeding must be done on all organs of the animal in order to get the cow labelled organic 100 percent.
When buying chicken, make sure it comes only from chickens fed 100% organic feed and never 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.
You should ensure you only buy dairy products made from milk that has been produced by cows who have been fed 100% organically grown food. Like ruminants and dairy cows, they have four stomach compartments. Milk comes from the fourth stomach compartment--the udder.
You should always check the label before purchasing any other livestock. This will let you know what percentage of the diet was given to the animals. A label for pork might say "95% organic", which means that 95% of the feed used by the pork came from organic sources.
What is the difference between organic and inorganic foods?
Organic food is made without chemical fertilizers or pesticides. Organic farming practices support soil health, water quality, and animal welfare.
Inorganic foods can be grown using pesticides, chemical fertilizers and sewage sludge. Radiated foods can be treated with radiation. Genetically modified organisms (GMOs) are created by biological engineering techniques.
Sometimes, the term "natural", is used interchangeably with "organic." But, "natural" does not necessarily refer to organic. Some products labeled "natural" may also contain synthetic ingredients.
Organic produce is usually more nutritious that conventional produce. This is because organic soil contains fewer toxic chemicals and pesticides. In addition, organic farmers do not use artificial fertilizers, hormones, antibiotics, or pesticides.
What are organic foods and how do they compare?
Organic produce is free from synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, sewage sludge and confinement feeding. No growth hormones or animal testing are done. These crops can be grown naturally by farmers, and they don't need to be treated with chemicals to control pests or weeds.
Organic farming practices can also preserve soil quality by reducing erosion, and conserving water resources. Organics are also better for your health as they contain more nutrients that conventional food. Organic foods are often higher in fiber, lower in fat, and less calories than those produced conventionally.
Are there health benefits to eating organic food?
Some organic foods may not prove to be good for you. There are certain health benefits to those who consume organic foods regularly.
Organic food is produced without artificial fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides, fungicides, hormones, antibiotics, or genetic engineering. Organic produce does not contain harmful chemicals that could be harmful to the human body.
There are also fewer additives used during processing. Organic products are likely to be healthier than nonorganic.
Studies have shown that organic foods are more nutritious and rich in antioxidants than fruits and veggies grown from conventional sources.
While organic farming is more expensive than traditional farming, it often produces better results. Organic agriculture encourages soil fertility, biodiversity and biodiversity.
This helps prevent erosion and conserve water. Organic farms require less fuel and energy because they don't contain toxic chemicals.
Some people fear that organic foods can be more costly than conventional foods. However, prices will vary depending on where one lives. For example, organic apples are generally more expensive than conventional apples.
But if you look at the total price of a basket of both types of fruit, you'll see that buying organic is cheaper.
So should you go organic?
It depends on you. Organic food is not for you if you don’t like it.
Organic food is available if you are a fan of good food. Organic food is safer than traditional commercial produce, as they are not subject to chemical pesticides, chemical fertilizers, or genetically modified organisms (GMOs).
Organic agriculture conserves the environment and promotes biodiversity.
Organic meat is better
This question is probably answered if you've been paying close attention. Here's the problem: Organic food is becoming more sought-after, while traditional food continues to decline in popularity.
Organic foods are becoming more popular because they are better for us. Organic foods are safer for our bodies and help to reduce pollution.
There are two sides to the coin. Organic produce is more difficult to grow and takes more resources. Organic food can be more expensive than its nonorganic counterpart.
Organic meats are generally more expensive than 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.
A great way to save money is to search for deals. Organics often come with discounts.
A third way to save money on meat consumption is to eat less. The feed required to raise cattle can make meat production expensive.
Organic food is healthier for the planet and our bodies than conventional food, but it's important to not overlook its cost.

How To
What happens when you switch from conventional products to organic?
Organic products are free from synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, hormones, and genetic manipulation. They are free-range and come from clean water sources. The term "organic" means they do not contain any chemicals or additives. This product was made from natural materials and is free of harmful substances.
The term "natural", refers only to how food was grown. It is usually used to describe foods that haven't been processed into their final form (e.g., fruits). Natural foods are usually fresher than processed foods, as they haven’t been exposed to heat, radiation, chemical preservatives, or other treatments. But, not everyone believes that natural foods are healthy. Experts say that there aren't many differences between organic and conventional food. Both types have been tested for quality and safety. Organic produce is safer than conventionally produced produce.
Most grocery shops now carry organic options. If you are looking for organic meat, poultry and eggs, check with your local grocery store. Some companies only sell organic products. Others have separate sections. USDA Certified Organic, Non GMO Project Verified. Biodynamic Association Certified. Rainforest Alliance Certified.
If you are pregnant, or nursing, these products should not be eaten. Pesticides have been shown to harm infants and unborn babies.
