Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between organic foods and inorganic food?
Organic food is made without chemical fertilizers or pesticides. Organic farming practices are good for soil health, water quality, animal welfare, and the environment.
Inorganic foods are produced using chemical fertilizers, pesticides, and sewage effluent. Radiated foods are those that have been exposed to radiation. Genetically modified organisms, or GMOs, are created using biological engineering techniques.
The term "natural" is often used interchangeably with "organic." However, natural does not necessarily mean organic. Some products labeled "natural" may also contain synthetic ingredients.
Organic produce is more nutritious than traditional produce due to the fact that it contains less harmful chemicals and pesticides. Organic farmers are free from artificial fertilizers and pesticides.
What are the health benefits of organic foods?
Even though organic foods might not be for everyone, there are some health benefits. But for those who eat them regularly, there are definite health benefits.
Organic food is produced without artificial fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides, fungicides, hormones, antibiotics, or genetic engineering. Organic produce is produced without the use of harmful chemicals which could affect human health.
Also, there are fewer additives that are used in processing. You're more likely to eat organic products than you are non-organic.
Studies have shown that organic fruits and vegetables contain more nutrients than those grown conventionally.
Organic farming methods are more expensive than conventional methods but they can often produce better results. When farmers grow crops organically, they encourage soil fertility and biodiversity.
This helps preserve water resources and prevents erosion. Organic farms don't use toxic chemicals and require less fuel and energy.
People worry that organic foods will be more expensive than those made from conventional food. However, prices vary depending on where you live. For example, organic apples tend to be more expensive than traditional apples.
You'll be able to see the difference in price if you add up all of the fruits in a single basket.
Should you buy organic?
It all depends upon who you are. You shouldn't bother if you don't enjoy organic food.
You can still buy organic food if your preference is for good tasting 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.
What are some things I should look out for when purchasing organic goods?
USDA-certified organic labels are recommended. This certifies that the product has met certain standards set by USDA. You will find the USDA Organic seal on all boxes, cartons and cans.
When buying meat, make sure it is from organically fed cows. Cattle are ruminants. They eat the whole animal. Ruminant cattle are divided into four stomach compartments, the rumen and reticulum as well as the omasum and abmasum. To be labeled '100% organic, all animal parts must be organically nourished.
Chicken should be only purchased from chickens raised on organic feed, and not given antibiotics. Omnivore chickens eat both animals and plants. Omnivorous chickens possess a digestive tract made up of a crop.
When buying dairy products, ensure they come from cows fed 100% organically grown feed. Like ruminants, dairy cattle have four stomachs. The fourth stomach, or the udder is where you get milk.
Check the label when purchasing livestock of any other type to find out what percentage was used in the animal's diet. Pork may be labeled "95% Organic" which means that 95 percent of its feed was organic.
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)
- 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)

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. They are organic because they don't contain any additives or chemicals. This product is natural and does not contain any harmful substances.
The term "natural", refers only to how food was grown. It's used to describe foods that have not been altered into their final form (e.g. fruits). Natural foods are often fresher than others because they haven't been treated with heat, radiation, or chemical preservatives. However, some people believe natural doesn't necessarily mean healthy. Experts aren't sure if there is much to be different between organic and traditional foods. Both types of food have been tested for safety and quality. But organic produce has fewer pollutants and pesticide residues than conventionally grown produce.
Most grocery stores now carry organic meats and poultry. For organic meats, poultry, eggs and seafood, you should check with your local supermarket. Some companies only sell organic products. Others have separate sections. USDA Certified Organic, Non GMO Project Verified. Biodynamic Association Certified. Rainforest Alliance Certified.
You should avoid eating these items if you are pregnant or nursing. Pesticides have been shown to harm infants and unborn babies.
