Frequently Asked Questions
Why should I go organic?
The health risks of conventional agriculture include asthma, allergies and diabetes. It is important to make informed choices about food purchases.
The Environmental Working Group (EWG) offers the following tips on how to pick "cleaner" food:
Always buy organic fruits & vegetables.
USDA organic labels can be found on meat, poultry (eggs, eggs), milk, cheese and yogurt as well.
Avoid processed foods marked "natural" or with "no additives."
Make sure you read through all the ingredients. If an ingredient is not listed, it can be added 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.
Which organic products are most in demand?
Organic food is the fastest-growing industry today. Even though we have come a long ways from our roots there is still plenty of room for growth.
Organic products are the future. Organic products are safer, more sustainable, and cheaper for consumers.
However, they are also more expensive. This is why we created the Organic Food Index. We wanted to know which foods are popular today and whether trends are changing.
The results of the study show that organic food has become more popular. Between 2011 and 2012, the number of Americans who shop for organic food increased by almost 50%.
The USDA reports that organic production increased 10% last year. Currently, organic food accounts for 9% in the U.S. agricultural production.
Organic food is growing in popularity but is still expensive. According to the Organic Trade Association OTA, organic food retail prices are about twice those of conventional products.
Organic food is growing faster that any other sector of the food industry. If you look closely at the data, it will be apparent that organic food consumption has steadily increased since 2009.
According to OTA, organic products sold in supermarkets grew 14% between 2010-2011.
This increase is due to consumers' demand for healthier foods. It is why organic food sales are growing across all ages.
The younger generation is however leading the charge for organic food. Millennials are twice more likely to purchase organic food than baby boomers. Young adults below 35 years of age account for 25%.
Why is organic produce important?
It is essential for our health to eat organic produce. It is the best option to ensure that we eat nutritious food. It's healthier for us as well as more environmentally-friendly because it doesn’t rely on pesticides, fertilizers, or other chemicals.
Organic farming uses natural methods of cultivating crops that are free from harmful chemicals. This reduces the risk of environmental pollution, which makes it safer for people and animals. So when you choose organic food, you're helping to protect yourself and the planet.
But organic food offers more than just health benefits. We all know how toxic processed food can make you feel. Did you know that organic fruits and veggies aren't subject to chemical spray? It means that organic fruits and vegetables taste better, last longer, and are brighter.
Organic food is so important. Because organic is healthier for you as well as for the world.
What are organic foods?
Organic produce does not contain synthetic fertilizers, pesticides and sewage sludge. It is also grown without irradiation or genetic engineering. There is no use of growth hormones and no animal testing. These crops can naturally grow, so no chemicals are used by farmers to combat pests or weeds.
Organic farming practices help maintain soil quality and reduce erosion. Organics are also better for your health as they contain more nutrients that conventional food. Organic products are more nutritious than conventionally grown foods and have lower calories and fiber.

How To
How to afford Organic Meat even when on a Budget
In this post I'll share some tips and techniques for buying organic meat that won't break the bank.
You will learn where to buy cheap organic meats, and what they cost per pound. You will be able to make the most of what you have purchased.
You don't need to spend a lot of money to eat healthily. Sometimes you need to be creative in order to save money and still eat healthy. Here's my list of ways to keep your food costs down while enjoying organic meat's benefits.
- Buy bulk food at wholesale clubs. Sams Club and Costco both offer great options for buying bulk foods like pork chops and chicken breasts. You may be able to get large quantities of meat for as low as 50 pounds if your home is near one of these stores. This will ensure that you don't waste any meat. Also, if you buy in bulk, it can be frozen so it lasts for longer.
- Shop around online - Tons of websites sell meat at discounted prices. Amazon has Prime Pantry, a weekly sale that offers free shipping for orders over $35. There are also discounts on lamb steaks (lamb steaks), ground beef, pork loins, and beef roasts. You can browse their website and view what's on sale at different times.
- Local farmers will usually be cheaper than big-box retailers since they don't pay large fees to stock their shelves. Plus, they know exactly what their animals ate and drank, so they know exactly what's inside their bodies.
- Look for meat cuts that are leanest - Lean meat is generally cheaper to cook than fatty meat. You should always look for the best cuts. The most popular are sirloin or flank steak, tenderloin roasts, top round steak, and top roast steak. These cuts are very low in fat and high in protein.
- Try new recipes. Start cooking with ingredients that you have never used before. This is one of the easiest ways reduce your grocery costs. You may be amazed at the variety of delicious dishes that you can make with fresh tomatoes, onions garlic, olive oil and spices.
- You can be creative with leftovers. If you have leftover poultry or meat, you can use them to make sandwiches, soups and casseroles. You can make quick meals or lunches from leftover meat.
There you have it! This is my list of tips to help you afford organic meat, even if your budget is tight. Are you able to offer any additional tips? What other tips do you have for me?
