Frequently Asked Questions
Why should I choose organic?
Many health issues have been linked to conventional agriculture, including obesity, diabetes and cancer. Healthy choices must be made when purchasing food.
The Environmental Working Group (EWG) offers the following tips on how to pick "cleaner" food:
As much as possible, purchase organic fruits or vegetables
USDA organic labels for meat, poultry eggs, milk and cheese as well butter and honey are recommended.
Avoid processed foods marked "natural" or with "no additives."
Be sure to read all ingredient labels. It is possible to add an ingredient during processing if it isn't already listed.
You should choose fresh meats rather than frozen or canned. Foods that are frozen or canned often have less nutritionally-rich ingredients, such as high fructosecorn syrup.
What's the difference between organic foods and inorganic food?
Organic food is made without chemical fertilizers or pesticides. Organic farming practices contribute to soil health, water purity, and animal welfare.
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.
"Natural" is sometimes used interchangeably in the context of "organic." Natural does not always mean organic. Natural products can also be labeled with 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 top organic products?
Today, organic food is the fastest growing industry. However, we still have a lot to learn from our roots.
Organic products will be the future. They are safer, healthier for the environment, and easier to afford for consumers.
However, they are also more expensive. That's why we created the Organic Food Index. We wanted to determine which foods are the most popular among shoppers today and whether these trends are changing.
The results of the study show that organic food has become more popular. The number of Americans shopping for organic food grew by nearly 50% between 2011 and 2012.
According to USDA, organic production grew by 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), average retail prices for organic food are almost double those of conventional alternatives.
Despite this, organic food is growing at a faster rate than any other food segment. If you examine the data closely, you will see that organic foods have grown steadily in consumption since 2009.
According to OTA, organic products sold in supermarkets grew 14% between 2010-2011.
This is due to consumer demand for healthier food, which explains why organic foods sales are rising across all age groups.
Younger generations are also leading the way in organic food choices. Millennials are twice as likely to buy organic food compared to baby boomers. And young adults under 35 years old account for 25% of all organic food purchases.
Organic foods are better for us.
According to the Environmental Working Group’s latest report on pesticide residues, organic fruits/vegetables had nearly half as many pesticides than non-organic. Organic apples had eight times less pesticides than nonorganic apples. However, organic strawberries had four times the amount of pesticides as their conventional counterparts.
Studies have also shown that organic foods reduce the risk of mercury and lead poisoning. For instance, one study showed that children who consumed organic meat had 33% less blood lead levels than children who did not. Another study concluded that pregnant mothers should avoid eating conventional fish because of the high levels mercury.
Organic food appears to be more safe than non-organic. Experts recommend eating fresh fruits and veggies whenever possible to reduce the chance of developing cancer.

How To
How to get Organic Meat on a budget
In this post, I'll share tips and tricks on buying organic meat without breaking your bank account.
I will give you tips on where to find cheap organic meats and how much they cost per pound. Learn how to get maximum value from the products you buy.
Healthy eating doesn't require you to spend a lot. Sometimes it takes creativity to save money and eat well. Here's my list to help you keep food costs low while still enjoying all the health benefits of organic meat.
- Wholesale clubs - Sams Club and Costco are great places for bulk food like chicken breasts or pork chops. If you are fortunate enough to live near one, you may be able get discounts up to 50 lbs on large quantities. This way, you won't waste any meat. Also, if you buy in bulk, it can be frozen so it lasts for longer.
- You can shop online for meat at great prices. Amazon offers Prime Pantry, a weekly deal with free shipping on orders above $35. There are discounts on roasts, ground beef and lamb steaks as well as pork loins. It is easy to browse their website and check out what is on offer at different times.
- Find a local farmer - Local farmers usually charge less than big box retailers because they do not pay considerable fees to stock their shelves. They also know what their animals ate and drink so they can tell exactly what is inside.
- Look for lean cuts of meat. Fatty meats are generally more expensive to cook. Therefore, choose the leanest cuts. The most popular cuts are flank steak, sirloin steak and tenderloin roast. These cuts are very low-fat and high in proteins.
- Explore new recipes. Don't be afraid of trying new things. You can cut down on your grocery costs by starting to cook with ingredients you don't have before. You may be surprised by how many delicious dishes you can come up with using 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.
That's it! That's my list of tips on how to afford organic meat even though you're on a budget. Are you able to offer any additional tips? Any other suggestions?
