Frequently Asked Questions
Is organic food good for you?
There are two types, those we grow our own and those we purchase from another source. There are exceptions, but the majority of the time, both options will be available. Organic food is healthier as it doesn't contain any harmful chemicals or pesticides, herbicides and preservatives.
You can find organic food in supermarkets across North America, Europe, Asia, Latin America, and Africa. Many grocery stores now stock organic food. This makes it easier to shop organic.
Organic food is also better tasting and more nutritious because it contains higher levels of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. Organics can be grown without pesticides or synthetic fertilizers. This ensures that organics do not pollute our soil or water supply.
The USDA regulates organic agriculture practices. This means that farmers must adhere to strict guidelines to make sure organic produce is safe to consume. There are over 30,000,000 acres of US agricultural land that has been certified organic.
Organic food can often be cheaper than conventional food. Consumers are paying less for the same amount of calories, protein, and nutrients. Organic farms are free to charge less for their crops, as they don't need to pay expensive chemical inputs such insecticides orfungicides.
According to Environmental Working Group, organic food can be 10 percent cheaper per pound when compared to conventionally produced food. If you care about the health of yourself and your family, consider switching to organic food.
Organic food is a popular choice to traditional American cuisines. It is often believed that organic food is exclusive to specialty markets and gourmet restaurants. Organic food can easily be found in any regular grocery store across the United States.
In recent years, organic food sales have been on the rise. In 2012, the US market value for organic food was $43 Billion. This is an increase of $21 Billion from 2007.
What are the benefits to organic farming?
Organic farming provides farmers with a way of producing food without using chemicals. Farmers do not need to worry about harmful pesticides harming their crops or animals.
Organic farming also allows for more natural fertilizers. These fertilizers help to grow healthy plants and help to reduce the amount of chemical waste produced.
Organic farming is also eco-friendly. Organic farming is also environmentally friendly. Farmers often use composting to recycle nutrients back into their soil. This reduces pollutants and conserves precious resources.
As well as helping the environment, organic farming increases crop yields. Because organic farming uses less water during the growing season, this is why it is so successful.
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 has increased the demand for organic foods. Organic farming has become increasingly popular.
What are the benefits of organic products for skin?
Organic skincare products don't contain any synthetic chemicals such as parabens or phthalates.
Organic skincare products are also free of artificial colours, fragrances, preservatives, emulsifiers, GMOs, petrochemicals, animal testing (except cosmetics tested on animals), pesticides, hormones, antibiotics, heavy metals, and other contaminants.
They also help to preserve healthy skin and prevent premature aging.
Here are some common terms you might encounter when searching for organic products
- Paraben Free – These chemicals are used to preserve certain cosmetic products, but can cause serious health problems if taken in large amounts.
- Fragrance-Free - the product does not have added fragrance or essential oils.
- Cruelty Free - No animals were injured during the manufacturing process.
- Natural Ingredients are ingredients that have been naturally extracted from plants or animals.
- Vegan/Vegetarian: The ingredients can be either vegetarian or vegan.
- Gluten-Free - This means that gluten has been removed from the formulation.
- Non-Toxic - The product doesn't contain toxins, carcinogens, or other dangerous compounds that could harm your health.
- Biodegradable product - when thrown out, the product will disintegrate into harmless components.
- Pesticide Free – There were no pesticides used during the harvesting or growing process.
- GMO-Free is a declaration that the product does not contain genetically modified organisms.
- Certified Organic means all ingredients were grown in ways that preserve the soil, water and air.
Is organic meat more nutritious?
If you've been paying any attention, you likely already know the answer. This is the crux of it: organic food has been growing in popularity while conventional food has fallen out of favor.
Organic foods are becoming more popular because they are better for us. In addition to being safer for our health, organic products also help the environment by reducing pollution and waste.
However, there are also two sides to this coin. Organic produce is more difficult to grow and takes more resources. This means that organic food costs more money than its non-organic counterpart.
Organic meats are generally more expensive than conventionally raised animals. However, it is possible to reduce costs without compromising on quality.
One way to save money is to buy locally. Buying locally grown fruits and vegetables helps keep prices low because farmers receive incentives to grow healthy crops.
A great way to save money is to search for deals. Many organic products can be purchased at a discount.
You can also save money by eating less meat. Feeding livestock can be very expensive.
There are many reasons organic foods are better for our bodies and the environment, but we need to be mindful of the cost.
Statistics
- Cosmetic brands such as Laurel and Rose Mira are 100 percent organic and have a wide array of skincare products. (en.wikipedia.org)
- When packaged products indicate they are “made with organic [specific ingredient or food group],” they contain at least 70% organically produced ingredients. (usda.gov)
- As for organic meat, regulations require that animals be raised in living conditions that accommodate their natural behaviours (like the ability to graze on pasture), fed 100% organic feed and forage, and not administered antibiotics or hormones. (usda.gov)
- 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
What happens to your Body When You Switch To Organic Products?
Organic products are free from synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, hormones, and genetic manipulation. They come only from natural sources of water and free-range animals. Organic means that they are free from chemicals and additives. This product was produced by nature and therefore contains no harmful substances.
Natural refers to the way food was grown. It is usually used to describe foods that haven't been processed into their final form (e.g., fruits). Natural foods are more fresh than other foods because they have not been subject to heat, radiation or chemical preservatives. Some people don't believe that natural means healthy. Experts say that there aren't many differences between organic and conventional food. Both types have been tested for quality and safety. Organic produce is safer than conventionally produced produce.
In general, most grocery stores now offer organic options. For organic meats, poultry, eggs and seafood, you should check with your local supermarket. Some companies sell only organic products; others have separate sections for them. USDA Certified Organic, Non GMO Project Verified. Biodynamic Association Certified. Rainforest Alliance Certified.
These foods should be avoided by women who are pregnant or breast-feeding. Unborn babies and infants can be exposed to pesticides.
