The Advantages of Organic Food
What goes into our food can play a big role in how we live our green lives. It impacts our health and environment. Here is a short list of good reasons to try to use as much organics as possible in our everyday lives.
Many farmers use a lethal combination of pesticides to control disease and insect attack. They do this when they are rushing to produce a larger crop in order to satisfy an ever growing demand for produce. Washed fruit and vegetables can have more than 30 types of toxins still present.
A great reason to go organic is that produce contain 50% more nutrients, minerals, and vitamins than those with pesticides used.
Consider the fact that most meat producers use hormones and antibiotics on their cattle and such. Not good for us! Try to find a market that offers organic beef, poultry, pork, etc..
Once you try organic, you’ll love it! The taste is different. Pure and intense. The cost is more, but well worth it when you consider the health hazards associated with ingested pesticides. What are they?
Certain birth defect, cancer, Alzheimer’s, and obesity. It just makes good sense to try to watch what you are eating. Consider a small organic garden of your own if you live in an area that makes that possible. It is not that difficult. I grow my own tomato’s, peppers, potatoes, fruits, and so on. I love it and would not have it any other way.
