What is organic?

Organic meat means real food, grown without artificial fertilizers or pesticides. Organic meat also indicates that animals were not fed genetically modified food. This means that the meat is safe for consumption as there aren’t any harmful chemicals.

Organic meats are better for the environment. Organic foods reduce pollution in rivers, lakes and landfills. Organic farmers are less likely to use toxic chemicals to kill birds or insects. This helps protect wildlife.

You can eat organic meats and produce whenever you can. Local buying helps to keep money in the community, rather than moving out of state. Local businesses often pass on savings to customers shopping locally. Local businesses are more likely to keep jobs here than export them abroad.

Is organic food better for us?

According to the Environmental Working Group's recent report on pesticide residues within foods, organic fruits & vegetables contained nearly half of the pesticides that non-organic varieties. The Environmental Working Group found that organic apples contained eight-times less pesticides than other non-organic fruits, and organic strawberries had fourfold more than their conventional counterparts.

Other studies suggest that eating organic food reduces exposure to toxic metals like lead and mercury. A study concluded that children who ate organic meat had 33% lower levels of blood lead than those who didn’t. A second study found that conventional fish should be avoided by pregnant women due to the high levels of mercury.

Overall, organic food does seem to be safer than its non-organic counterpart. Experts recommend that fresh produce and vegetables be used whenever possible to reduce your chances of developing cancer.

Are there health benefits to eating organic food?

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 grown without the use of pesticides herbicides fungicides hormones antibiotics or genetic engineering. Organic produce is not grown with harmful chemicals that could pose a risk to human health.

The use of additives in the processing process is also less common. So when you buy an organic product, you're likely eating healthier than non-organic products.

Studies show that organic foods contain more nutrients and antioxidants than conventionally grown fruits and vegetables.

Organic farming methods are more expensive than conventional methods but they can often produce better results. Organic farming increases soil fertility and biodiversity.
