Frequently Asked Questions

Is organic food better for us?

According to the Environmental Working Group's latest report on pesticide residues in foods, organic fruits and vegetables had nearly half the level of pesticides compared with non-organic versions. They found that organic apples contained eight times fewer pesticides than non-organic apples, while organic strawberries were four times cleaner than their conventional counterparts.

Research has also suggested that organic food may reduce mercury and lead exposure. 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.

Organic food seems to be safer than the non-organic. Experts recommend eating fresh fruits and veggies whenever possible to reduce the chance of developing cancer.

What are the most popular organic products?

Organic food is the fastest-growing industry today. We've come far from our roots but there is still room for improvement.

Organic products are the future. They are safer, better for our environment, and more affordable for consumers.

But they also tend to be higher priced. The Organic Food Index was created to address this. We wanted to find out which foods are most popular with shoppers today, and whether these trends are changing.

The results show that organic food is becoming increasingly popular. Between 2011 and 2012 the number of Americans buying organic food increased nearly 50%.

According to the USDA, organic production increased by 10% last year alone. Currently, organic food accounts for 9% in the U.S. agricultural production.

Organic food is certainly on the rise but consumers are still not able to afford it. The average retail price for organic food is almost twice that of conventional foods, according to the Organic Trade Association (OTA).

However, organic food is growing more quickly than any other part of the food market. If you look closely at the data, it will be apparent that organic food consumption has steadily increased since 2009.

According to OTA however, the volume in supermarkets of organic products grew by 14% from 2010 to 2011.

This increase reflects consumer demand for healthier foods, which explains why organic food sales are increasing across all age groups.

However, younger generations are leading the charge when choosing organic food. Millennials have twice the likelihood of buying organic food as baby boomers. And young adults under 35 years old account for 25% of all organic food purchases.

Do organic foods have health benefits?

Even though organic foods might not be for everyone, there are some health benefits. However, regular consumption of organic foods can have health benefits.

Organic food is grown without the use of pesticides herbicides fungicides hormones antibiotics or genetic engineering. Organic produce is free from harmful chemicals that could cause harm to human health.

Also, there are fewer additives that are used in processing. Organic products are likely to be healthier than nonorganic.

Research shows that organic produce contains more nutrients and antioxidants compared to conventionally grown fruit and vegetables.

While organic farming is more expensive than traditional farming, it often produces better results. Organic farming increases soil fertility and biodiversity.

This helps preserve water resources and prevents erosion. Organic farms don't use toxic chemicals and require less fuel and energy.

People are worried that organic foods may be more expensive then conventional. Prices can vary depending on where you live. For example, organic apples are generally more expensive than conventional apples.

However, organic fruit is more affordable if you compare the price of a basket of both types.

So should you go organic?

It depends on what kind of person you are. You shouldn't bother if you don't enjoy organic food.

You can still buy organic food if your preference is for good tasting food. Organic food is safer than traditional commercial produce, as they are not subject to chemical pesticides, chemical fertilizers, or genetically modified organisms (GMOs).

Organic agriculture preserves our environment by conserving natural resource and encouraging biodiversity.

How To

How to get Organic Meat on a budget

Here are some tips and tricks that will help you save money on organic meat.

I will give you tips on where to find cheap organic meats and how much they cost per pound. This will teach you how to get the most out of your purchase.

Healthy eating doesn't require you to spend a lot. Sometimes creativity is required to make money while still eating healthy. Here's my list to help you keep food costs low while still enjoying all the health benefits of organic meat.

1. Buy at wholesale clubs - Costco and Sams Club are great places to shop for bulk foods like chicken breasts and pork chops. 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 end up with any leftover meat. You can also freeze the meat if you buy it bulk.
2. Shopping online is easy - There are tons of websites that sell meat at reduced prices. Amazon offers Prime Pantry, a weekly deal with free shipping on orders above $35. There are discounts on roasts, ground beef and lamb steaks as well as pork loins. It's simple to visit their website to view the latest offerings at different times.
3. Local farmers often charge less than big box retailers due to the fact that they don't have large overheads for stocking their shelves. Because they know exactly the diets and drinks of their animals, local farmers can provide a better understanding of what's inside.
4. Look for meat cuts that are leanest - Lean meat is generally cheaper to cook than fatty meat. So, look for the leanest cuts. The most common ones are sirloin steak, tenderloin roast, top round steak, and flank steak. These cuts have high protein and low fat.
5. You don't have to be afraid to try new recipes. One of the easiest ways to reduce your grocery bill is to start cooking meals with ingredients you haven't used before. You'll be surprised at how many delicious dishes can you create using fresh tomatoes.
6. Be creative with leftovers - If you have leftover cooked meat or poultry, use them for sandwiches, salads, soups, casseroles, etc. For quick lunches, leftover meat can be used to make dinners.

There you have it! This is my list of tips to help you afford organic meat, even if your budget is tight. Are you able to offer any additional tips? Do you have any suggestions for me on where to find cheap meat?
