Is organic meat more nutritious?
If you have been paying attention for long enough, you will probably know the answer. However, the truth is organic food is gaining popularity at a time when conventional food is falling 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.
But there are two sides to this coin. Organic produce is more difficult to grow and takes more resources. Organic food is more expensive than non-organic.
Organic meats are typically higher priced than conventionally raised animals. But there are ways to cut costs without sacrificing quality.
Local purchases can help you save money. Locally grown fruit and vegetables help lower the price of produce, as farmers are often given incentives to grow better crops.
Deals are another way to cut costs. When you purchase organics, there are often discounts.
You can also save money by eating less meat. Feeding livestock can be very expensive.
While there are many reasons organic food is better for our bodies as well as the planet, we must not forget the cost.
What's the difference?
Organic food is free from pesticides, chemical fertilizers and sewage sludge. It can also be grown without irradiation or genetic modification. Organic farming practices contribute to soil health, water purity, and animal welfare.
Inorganic foods are grown with pesticides, chemical fertilizers, and sewage sludge. Radiated foods are those that have been exposed to radiation. Genetically modified organisms, or GMOs, are created using biological engineering techniques.
The term "natural", often used interchangeably to mean "organic," is frequently used. Natural does not necessarily have to mean organic. Natural products can also be labeled with synthetic ingredients.
Organic produce is often more nutritious than conventional produce, as the soil has fewer pesticides and harmful chemicals. Organic farmers don't use any artificial fertilizers, hormones or antibiotics.
Is organic produce healthy?
There are two types, those we grow our own and those we purchase from another source. Although there are exceptions to each category, most of the answers to your question are yes. Organic food is healthier as it doesn't contain any harmful chemicals or pesticides, herbicides and preservatives.
In supermarkets all over North America, Europe Asia, Latin America, Latin America, and Africa, you can find organic food. Many grocery stores now stock organic food. This makes it easier to shop organic.
Organic food is also better tasting and more nutritious because it contains higher levels of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. Organics are also grown without the use of pesticides or synthetic fertilizers, so they don't pollute our soils and water supplies.
The USDA regulates organic farming practices. They require farmers to follow strict guidelines so that organic produce can be eaten safely. There are over 30,000,000 acres of US agricultural land that has been certified organic.
Organic food is often more affordable than conventional food. Customers pay less for the same amount in calories, protein and nutrients. Organic farms don't have the expense of expensive chemical inputs, such as insecticides and/or fungicides. They can charge lower prices.
According to the Environmental Working Group Organic food is actually 10 percent more expensive per pound than conventionally grown food. Organic food is an option if you want to improve your health and the health of your family.
Organic food is a popular choice to traditional American cuisines. While many believe organic food can only come from specialty markets and fine dining restaurants, it is not true. You can easily purchase organic food in regular grocery stores throughout the United States.
Recent years have seen a significant increase in organic food sales. Organic food market value in the US increased from $21 billion to $43 billion in 2007 to reach $43 billion in 2012.
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)
- Popular clothing brands, like Patagonia, are labelled as organic by using 100 percent organic cotton for many of their styles. (en.wikipedia.org)
- Cosmetic brands such as Laurel and Rose Mira are 100 percent organic and have a wide array of skincare products. (en.wikipedia.org)
- Once certified by the USDA, it can fall into one of four categories: "100 percent organic", "organic," "made with organic ingredients," or "made with less than 70 percent organic ingredients. (en.wikipedia.org)

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.
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.
For healthy eating, you don’t have to spend a lot. Sometimes, you have to use your creativity to save money while still eating well. Here are my suggestions for ways to cut food costs while still enjoying the benefits of organic meat.
- 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 way, you won't waste any meat. If you buy it in bulk you can freeze it so it lasts more.
- Shop around online - Tons of websites sell meat at discounted prices. Amazon offers Prime Pantry, a weekly deal with free shipping on orders above $35. They offer discounts for beef roasts and ground beef as well as lamb steaks, lamb steaks, pork loins, and other items. It's easy to browse their website and see what's available 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. Because they know exactly the diets and drinks of their animals, local farmers can provide a better understanding of what's inside.
- Look for lean cuts of meat. Fatty meats are generally more expensive to cook. You should always look for the best cuts. These include sirloin, tenderloin, top round, flank, and top-round steaks. These cuts are high in protein and low in fat.
- You don't have to be afraid to try new recipes. You can cut down on your grocery costs by starting to cook with ingredients you don't have before. It's possible to create delicious meals with fresh tomatoes, onions and garlic using olive oil, spices, and garlic.
- Be creative with leftovers - If you have leftover cooked meat or poultry, use them for sandwiches, salads, soups, casseroles, etc. Leftover meat is perfect for making quick lunches or dinners.
So, there you are! These are my top tips for how to get organic meat on a tight budget. What other tips do you have? Any other suggestions?
