Frequently Asked Questions
What are organic beauty products?
Organic Beauty Products don't contain synthetic chemicals such as parabens. These ingredients can be found in many conventional beauty products such as cosmetics, shampoos and perfumes.
Organic beauty products are not tested on animals and contain no genetically modified organisms.
The USDA defines organic food as "a system which fosters cycle of resources"; it has been used for decades by the USDA to describe foods that are grown without pesticides.
The harmful effects of chemical compounds on our bodies have led to an increase in the demand for ecofriendly beauty products.
These include skin irritation, hormone imbalance, premature ageing, and cancer.
Organic beauty businesses are committed to providing safe, healthy products that consumers can use while protecting the environment.
What are organic foods?
Organic produce is grown without pesticides, synthetic fertilizers, sewage sludge, irradiation, genetic engineering, or confinement feeding. No growth hormones are used, and there is no animal testing. These crops can grow naturally so that farmers don't have to use pesticides or weed control.
Organic farming practices also maintain soil quality by reducing erosion and conserving water resources. In addition, organics are better for our health because they contain more nutrients than conventional food. Organic products are more nutritious than conventionally grown foods and have lower calories and fiber.
What are the benefits of organic farming?
Organic farming provides farmers with a way of producing food without using chemicals. Farmers don't need to worry that harmful pesticides could harm their crops or animals.
Organic farming can also use natural fertilizers. These fertilizers are good for plants that are healthy and reduce chemical waste.
Organic farming is also environmentally friendly. To recycle nutrients back into soil, farmers often resort to composting. This reduces pollution and preserves valuable resources.
Organic farming can increase crop yields and help the environment. This is because organic farming requires less water to grow the crops.
Organic production methods result in farmers receiving higher prices. People who are more conscious of the dangers of chemical fertilizers and pesticides will eat healthier food.
This leads to a greater demand for organic food products. For these reasons, organic farming is becoming increasingly popular.
What are some things I should look out for when purchasing organic goods?
Look for USDA-certified organic labels. This guarantees that the product meets certain USDA standards. You will find the USDA Organic seal on all boxes, cartons and cans.
When purchasing meat, ensure it is 100% organic. Cattle are ruminants. They eat the whole animal. Ruminant cattle can be found with four stomach compartments: the rumen, the reticulum, omasum, abomasum and omasum. Organic feeding must be done on all organs of the animal in order to get the cow labelled organic 100 percent.
Make sure you only buy chicken from chicken farms that are fed organically and have never been 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 only dairy products from cows that have been fed organically grown feed. Just like ruminants have four stomachs, dairy cows have four. Milk comes from the fourth stomach compartment--the udder.
Check the label when purchasing livestock of any other type to find out what percentage was used in the animal's diet. For example, pork may be marked "95% organic" to indicate that 95 percent of the pork's feed is organic.
Why should I go organic?
Conventional agriculture has been linked with many health problems including asthma, allergies. Healthy choices must be made when purchasing food.
The Environmental Working Group (EWG), offers these tips to help you choose "cleaner" foods:
When possible, buy organic fruits and veggies
Look for USDA organic labels on meat, poultry, eggs, milk, cheese, yogurt, butter, and honey.
Avoid processed foods marked "natural" or with "no additives."
Be sure to read all ingredient labels. It is possible to add an ingredient during processing if it isn't already listed.
Fresh meats are better than canned or frozen. Foods that are frozen or canned often have less nutritionally-rich ingredients, such as high fructosecorn syrup.
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. Organic strawberries contained four times more pesticides that their conventional counterparts, and organic apples contained eight percent less.
Other studies suggest that eating organic food reduces exposure to toxic metals like lead and mercury. One study found that organic meats had 33 percent less lead in children than the levels of those who did not eat them. 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 fresh vegetables and fruits whenever possible in order to reduce the risk of getting cancer.
Statistics
- Nutrients like omega-3 fatty acids were up to 50 percent higher in organic meats and milk than in conventionally raised products.[3] (en.wikipedia.org)
- 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)

How To
How to Buy Organic Meat Even on a Limited Budget
Here are some tips and tricks that will help you save money on organic meat.
Here are some tips to help you find low-cost organic meats. Also, how much per pound they cost. You'll learn how to get the best from what you buy.
For healthy eating, you don’t have to spend a lot. Sometimes, it takes a bit of creativity to save money while eating well. Here's my list of ways to keep your food costs down while enjoying organic meat's benefits.
- Buy at wholesale clubs - Costco and Sams Club are great places to shop for bulk foods like chicken breasts and pork chops. You can often find deals on large quantities (up to 50 pounds) if you live close to 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.
- Shopping online is easy - There are tons of websites that sell meat at reduced prices. Amazon offers Prime Pantry weekly deals, including free shipping for orders above $35 They offer discounts for beef roasts and ground beef as well as lamb steaks, lamb steaks, pork loins, and other items. You can browse their website and view what's on sale at different times.
- Look for a local farmer. They usually charge less than big-box retailers, as they don't have to pay large stocking fees. They also know what their animals ate and drink so they can tell exactly what is inside.
- Look for meat cuts that are leanest - Lean meat is generally cheaper to cook than fatty meat. The leanest cuts are therefore preferred. The most common ones are sirloin steak, tenderloin roast, top round steak, and flank steak. These cuts are high in protein and low in fat.
- Explore new recipes. Don't be afraid of trying new things. It's possible to reduce grocery expenses by cooking new recipes using ingredients you've never tried before. It's possible to create delicious meals with fresh tomatoes, onions and garlic using olive oil, spices, and garlic.
- Make your leftovers creative - You can make sandwiches, soups, casseroles, and other dishes with leftover meat or poultry. You can make quick meals or lunches from leftover meat.
Here you have it! Here are some tips on how you can afford organic meat despite being on a strict budget. Are there any other tips you can share? Any other suggestions?
