Frequently Asked Questions
What should I be looking out for when shopping organic products
USDA-certified organic labels should be sought. This certification means that the product is certified organic by USDA. You will find the USDA Organic seal on all boxes, cartons and cans.
When shopping for meat ensure it comes only from cows that are fed 100% organic feed. Cattle are ruminants. This means they chew the cud. Ruminant cattle have four stomach compartments: rumen, reticulum, omasum, and abomasum. If a cow is to be labeled organically, all parts must be organically fed.
Chicken should be only purchased from chickens raised on organic feed, and not given antibiotics. Omnivore chickens can eat both plants as well as animals. The digestive tract of an omnivorous chicken is composed of a crop and proventriculus, gizzard as well as small intestine, large intestinale, and anus.
Buy dairy products that are 100% organically produced. Just like ruminants, dairy cows also have four stomachs. The fourth stomach compartment is the udder.
If you are buying other types of livestock, make sure to check the label to determine the percentage of their diet. Pork may be labeled "95% Organic" which means that 95 percent of its feed was organic.
What is the difference between organic and inorganic foods?
Organic food is produced without pesticides, chemical fertilizers, sewage sludge, irradiation, or genetic modification. Organic farming practices promote soil health, water quality and animal welfare.
Inorganic foods are grown with pesticides, chemical fertilizers, and sewage sludge. Radiation can be used to destroy food, while genetically modified organisms are created by biological engineering.
"Organic" and "natural" are often interchangeable. But, "natural" does not necessarily refer to organic. Products labelled "natural", however, may contain synthetic chemicals.
Organic produce is more nutritious than traditional produce due to the fact that it contains less harmful chemicals and pesticides. Organic farmers also don't use synthetic fertilizers or hormones, pesticides, or antibiotics.
Why should I choose organic?
Conventional agriculture has been linked to several health problems, including asthma, allergies, obesity, diabetes, cancer, birth defects, hormone imbalances, and other diseases. You must make healthy choices when buying 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 should be used on meat, poultry and eggs as well as milk, cheese, yogurt, butter, honey, and other dairy products.
Avoid processed foods labeled as "natural" or "no additives."
Carefully review ingredient lists. 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.
Are organic foods better?
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. A study concluded that children who ate organic meat had 33% lower levels of blood lead than those who didn’t. Another study concluded traditional fish should not be consumed by pregnant women, due to high mercury levels.
Organic food is generally safer than non-organic. Experts recommend fresh vegetables and fruits whenever possible in order to reduce the risk of getting cancer.

How To
What happens when you switch from conventional products to organic?
Organic products do not contain synthetic fertilizers or hormones. They are derived from clean water and animals that have been free to roam. The term "organic", which means they don't contain additives or chemicals, refers to their non-containing any. This product is natural and does not contain any harmful substances.
The term "natural" refers how food is grown. It's used to describe foods that have not been altered into their final form (e.g. fruits). Natural foods are usually fresher than processed foods, as they haven’t been exposed to heat, radiation, chemical preservatives, or other treatments. Some people think natural does not necessarily mean healthy. Experts believe there is no difference in organic and conventional food. Both types of food are tested for safety, quality, and purity. Organic produce has less pesticide residues and pollutant than conventionally grown food.
Most grocery stores offer organic options. Organic meat, poultry or eggs can be found at most local markets. Some companies only sell organic products. Others have separate sections. USDA Certified Organic is a non-GMO Project Verified company.
These items should be avoided if you're pregnant or breastfeeding. Pesticides are known to affect unborn babies and infants.
