Frequently Asked Questions
Are organic meats better?
You probably know the answer if you have been paying attention for a while. The problem is that organic food is increasingly popular, but conventional food continues its decline.
The reason why organic foods continue to rise in popularity is that they are healthier for us. Organic products are not only safer for our health but also reduce pollution and waste.
There are two sides to the coin. Organic produce takes more time to grow and requires greater resources. Organic food can be more expensive than its nonorganic counterpart.
Organic meats are generally more expensive than conventionally raised animals. However, there are ways to reduce these costs without sacrificing quality.
Local purchases can help you save money. Locally grown fruits and veggies help to lower prices because farmers get incentives to grow good crops.
Look for bargains to cut down on costs. You may be able to get discounts when you buy organics.
Finally, another way to save money is by eating less meat. The feed required to raise cattle can make meat production expensive.
There are many reasons why organic food is better for our bodies and the planet, but we should be careful not to overlook the cost.
Why should I go organic?
The health risks of conventional agriculture include asthma, allergies and diabetes. When buying food, you must make wise choices.
The Environmental Working Group offers these tips:
Buy organic fruits and vegetables whenever possible.
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."
Check ingredient lists carefully. It is possible to add an ingredient during processing if it isn't already listed.
Fresh meats are better than canned or frozen. Many frozen and canned foods contain less nutrients, like high fructose Corn Syrup.
Is organic food better for us?
According to the Environmental Working Group, organic vegetables and fruits had half the amount of pesticides as 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.
Research has also suggested that organic food may reduce mercury and lead exposure. 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 conventional fish consumption should be stopped by pregnant women because it contains high levels of mercury.
Organic food tends to be healthier than nonorganic. Experts recommend fresh vegetables and fruits whenever possible in order to reduce the risk of getting cancer.

How To
Is there anything negative about buying organic products?
Organic food offers many benefits. There are however some downsides. These include higher consumer price, lower quality standards, fewer options, and fewer choice.
It is okay to want more variety when shopping for groceries. But we've been programmed to expect cheap food that tastes terrible. That's why you'll find most grocery stores stocked with identical prepackaged products.
But today, organic food is becoming increasingly popular because it offers better nutrition and tastes great. How can you convince people it is worth spending a little more?
But you could still tell them that organic foods are more expensive. This doesn't necessarily mean organic food tastes better. They might be suspicious of your motives.
Instead, highlight its strengths. Organic food is healthier and contains less pesticides, antibiotics, and it has higher nutritional content. Organic food is healthier for you and your environment because it doesn't contain synthetic fertilizers or herbicides.
Many people avoid organic food because they assume it's too expensive. But as long as they consider the health benefits, they may decide that spending a few dollars per week is worth it.
Organic food tastes better, because it's made under strict guidelines to prevent contamination. It tends also to retain more vitamins and minerals.
Organic food is also tastier because it's picked later in the season. This makes it easier to digest and fresher.
Organic food is generally more affordable because the farmers grow it organically. This requires less labour as well as fertilizer.
