Frequently Asked Questions
Organic meat is better
If you've been paying any attention, you likely already know the answer. This is the crux of it: organic food has been growing in popularity while conventional food has fallen out of favor.
The reason why organic foods continue to rise in popularity is that they are healthier for us. In addition to being safer for our health, organic products also help the environment by reducing pollution and waste.
There are many sides to this coin. Organic produce takes longer and requires more resources. This means organic food will cost more than its non-organic counterpart.
Organic meats tend to be more expensive than those raised conventionally. There are however ways to lower these costs without sacrificing the quality of organic meats.
Buy local to save money. Buying locally grown fruits and vegetables helps keep prices low because farmers receive incentives to grow healthy crops.
Look for bargains to cut down on costs. 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.

The Environmental Working Group (EWG), offers these tips to help you choose "cleaner" foods:
When possible, buy organic fruits and veggies
USDA organic labels should be used on meat, poultry and eggs as well as milk, cheese, yogurt, butter, honey, and other dairy products.
Avoid processed foods that claim to be "natural" and "no additives."
Check ingredient lists carefully. If an ingredient doesn't appear on the list, it could be added to the product during processing.
It is better to eat fresh meats than canned or frozen. Cans and frozen foods are often less nutritious than fresh meats, such as high fructose corn syrup.
Organic means it is free from pesticides?

These include cancer, allergies and skin irritation.
Organic beauty companies work to create safe and healthy products for their customers while also protecting the environment.

What happens to the body when you switch over to organic products
Organic products can be grown without synthetic fertilizers, hormones or antibiotics. They come only from natural sources of water and free-range animals. They are organic because they don't contain any additives or chemicals. This product was produced by nature and therefore contains no harmful substances.
Natural refers to the way 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 often fresher than others because they haven't been treated with heat, radiation, or chemical preservatives. Natural doesn't necessarily have to be healthy, however. Experts believe there is no difference in organic and conventional food. Both types can be tested for safety and quality. Organic produce contains fewer pesticide and other pollutants 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 offer only organic products while others have separate sections. USDA Certified Organic is a non-GMO Project Verified company.
You should avoid eating these items if you are pregnant or nursing. Unborn babies and infants can be affected by pesticides.
