Why should I choose organic?
There have been many health problems linked to conventional farming, including allergies, asthma, diabetes, obesity, cancer, birth defects and hormone imbalances. You must make healthy choices when buying food.
The Environmental Working Group offers these tips:
Always buy organic fruits & vegetables.
USDA organic labels for meat, poultry eggs, milk and cheese as well butter and honey are recommended.
Avoid processed foods labelled "natural"/ "no additives."

You should choose fresh meats rather than frozen or canned. Many frozen and canned foods contain less nutrients, like high fructose Corn Syrup.
Do organic foods offer health benefits?
While organic foods may not be suitable for everyone's health, they are healthy for some people. For those who consume them regularly, however, they can offer certain health benefits.
Organic food is free from artificial fertilizers, pesticides and herbicides as well as hormones, antibiotics and genetic engineering. Organic produce is not grown with harmful chemicals that could pose a risk to human health.
Also, there are fewer additives that are used in processing. Organic products are healthier than those that use additives during processing.
Studies show that organic foods contain more nutrients and antioxidants than conventionally grown fruits and vegetables.
Even though organic farming methods can be more costly than conventional farming methods they are often more productive. Organic farming encourages soil fertility and biodiversity.
This helps preserve water resources and prevents erosion. Organic farms do not require toxic chemicals to operate. They also use less energy and fuel.
People worry that organic foods will be more expensive than those made from conventional food. However, prices can vary depending upon where you live. Organic apples, on the other hand, tend to be more expensive that conventional 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. Organic food is not for you if you don’t like it.
Organic food can be purchased if you like good-tasting food. Organic food is safer because organic produce is not grown by commercial growers who use pesticides and chemical fertilizers.
Organic agriculture protects our environment by conserving natural resources and promoting biodiversity.
What should I look out for when buying organic products?
USDA-certified organic labels are recommended. This certification means that the product is certified organic by USDA. On packages, boxes, cartons or cans, look out for the USDA Organic seal.
When buying meat, make sure it is from organically fed cows. Cattle are ruminants. This means they chew the cud. Ruminant cattle have four stomach areas: rumen (reticulum), omasum (omasum), and abomasum. All parts of an animal must be organically fed if the cow is going to be labelled '100% organic.'
Chicken should be only purchased from chickens raised on organic feed, and not given antibiotics. Omnivore chickens eat both animals and plants. Omnivorous chickens have a digestive system that includes a crop (proventriculus), gizzard and small intestine.
Buy only dairy products from cows that have been fed organically grown feed. Just like ruminants, dairy cows also have four stomachs. Milk comes from the fourth stomach compartment--the udder.
If you are buying other types of livestock, make sure to check the label to determine the percentage of their diet. One example is pork that may be labeled '95% Organic'. This means that 95 percent came from organic sources.
What are the benefits of organic fruits?
Organic foods are grown without pesticides, synthetic fertilizers, hormones, or antibiotics. They are also richer in nutrients like vitamins C, E, K, and omega-3 fat acids. These nutritious ingredients make organic foods better for our bodies, and for the planet.
Organic foods are produced with sustainable farming practices that promote soil quality and biological diversity. They are produced without harmful chemicals, irradiation, or sewage sludge.
Organics are often associated with produce. However, organic products can include dairy, meat, poultry and eggs as well as personal care items and pet food.
The USDA defines organic as crops grown in accordance with strict federal regulations. Non-organic methods cannot be used by farmers to grow these foods. However, they may use approved natural pest control methods, such as crop rotation and cover cropping, and animal feed made from organic materials.
Additionally, the farmer must adhere to guidelines concerning the amount of fertilizer and pesticide that he uses during the growing seasons and how he rotates his fields among various crops. GMOs, synthetic insecicides, artificial growth hormones or synthetic fertilizers can't 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. Instead, they will call their product "made using organic ingredients." "
What are organic foods and how do they compare?
Organic produce is grown without pesticides, synthetic fertilizers, sewage sludge, irradiation, genetic engineering, or confinement feeding. No growth hormones or animal testing are done. These crops are allowed natural growth, so farmers don't use chemicals to kill pests and weeds.
Organic farming practices can also preserve soil quality by reducing erosion, and conserving water resources. Organic foods are healthier than conventional foods because they have more nutrients. Organic products have a higher fiber content and are lower in calories and fat than conventionally manufactured ones.
Is organic a guarantee that the product is pesticide-free
Organic food is chemical-free and grown without pesticides. This means that organic food is often free of pesticides and fertilizers.
Organic produce contains more nutrients and is healthier than conventionally manufactured foods, as it does not contain any harmful additives.
Farmers must follow strict guidelines to grow organic crops under the USDA National Organic Program (NOP).
These guidelines include soil preparation and crop rotation, pest management, water conservation, as well as harvesting practices.
Organic farming also promotes healthy ecosystems which are beneficial to wildlife and natural habitats.

How To
How to save money on organic meat
This post will share some tips and tricks to help you buy organic meat without breaking the bank.
I will give you tips on where to find cheap organic meats and how much they cost per pound. You will be able to make the most of what you have purchased.
Healthy eating doesn't require you to spend a lot. Sometimes, it takes a bit of creativity to save money while eating well. Here are my top tips for keeping food costs down and still enjoying the many benefits of organic meat.
- Buy at wholesale clubs - Costco and Sams Club are great places to shop for bulk foods like chicken breasts and pork chops. If you're lucky enough to live near one of these stores, you can often get deals on large quantities of meat (up to 50 pounds). You won't have to waste meat. And if you buy it in bulk, you can freeze it, so it lasts longer.
- You can shop online for meat at great prices. Amazon has Prime Pantry, a weekly sale that offers free shipping for orders over $35. You can get discounts on ground beef, beef roasts, lamb steaks and pork loins. It is easy to browse their website and check out what is on offer at different times.
- Local farmers often charge less than big box retailers due to the fact that they don't have large overheads for stocking their shelves. Local farmers also know exactly what their animals have eaten and drank so they can determine what's in their bodies.
- Look for lean cuts of meat. Fatty meats are generally more expensive to cook. Look for the tiniest cuts. The most common ones are sirloin steak, tenderloin roast, top round steak, and flank steak. These cuts are very low in fat and high in protein.
- Explore new recipes. Don't be afraid of trying new things. Cooking with new ingredients is one of the best ways to cut your grocery bills. You'll be surprised at how many delicious dishes can you create using fresh tomatoes.
- Make your leftovers creative - You can make sandwiches, soups, casseroles, and other dishes with leftover meat or poultry. You can make quick meals or lunches from leftover meat.
That's it! Here are some tips on how you can afford organic meat despite being on a strict budget. Do you have any other tips? Any other suggestions?
