Advantages of Organic Food

What is it? How is it grown? What are the advantages of organic food?

Organic food is grown on farms that use no toxic pesticides and fertilizers.

Organic foods are processed without artificial ingredients or preservatives. The farmers build healthy soil, which grows healthy plants which are better able to resist insects and diseases. They use natural pest control methods like insect predators, traps and barriers.

Once you've eaten healthy organic foods you will never want to eat anything else. Organic fruits and vegetables are juicy and full flavored. The taste alone will convince you. But there are many other advantages of organic food.

Organic food is more nutritious, richer in vitamins and minerals than non-organic flood. Organic food enthusiasts report greater vitality, more energy and better over all health. Whether this is from the superior nutrition in organic food or the absence of the toxic chemicals is unknown. It is probably both.

Many of the pesticides used on non-organic food don't easily wash off, and some that were labeled "safe" in times past have been found to be harmful at levels not considered toxic before. Pesticide residues have been found in bread, baby food and even in the water supply. Organic food is packaged without preservatives or artificial flavors and colors so you know:

• There are no toxic chemicals leaching from the packaging
• The food is fresh - it hasn't been artificially treated to stay "looking" fresher longer-it really is fresh!
• There is less potential for allergic reactions to the dyes and chemical flavors.

You have peace of mind knowing that you and your family are eating pure food.

Better for the Animals
Better for the Earth

The farming practices developed over the past 50 years by agri-businesses have led to cruel treatment of animals bred for food. Chickens warehoused in stacks of cages who never see the sun, cattle living in cramped quarters, dosed with antibiotics because they are sick from their unnatural diet of grain. The reality of life for these animals is appalling.

Organically farmed animals live a more natural life. They don't need all of the hormones and antibiotics because they are healthier.

The pesticides strewn over millions of acres of farmland have leached into the water supply in many places. In 1995 a network of environmental organizations began testing tap water in cities in the Midwest corn belt, Maryland and Louisiana. They found widespread contamination of pesticides at levels considered health risks.

The more you and others buy organic food, the more organic food will be produced. The more organic farms out there means the less pollution of the land and our water supply. Our children and grandchildren will live on a healthier planet.
