Organic Food and Locally Grown Food: Are They the Same?
SUNDAY,NOVEMBER 20, 2011 @ 05:31
Article by Chris Robertson
In the U.K., consumers are gobbling up organic food by the bushel. In fact, according
to the Organic Centre Wales, “Direct sales of organic food through box schemes,
farmers‟ markets and farm shops grew by more than a third to L144 million during
2004.” And those numbers have continued to rise as consumers become increasingly
concerned about the long-term effects of the chemical fertilizers and pesticides used
on crops grown by non-organic farms. While most people agree that organic food is
preferable over non-organic, a debate has begun about the source of organic foods.
For example, is imported organic food as desirable as UK organic food? Making the
Case for Local Organic Food. Those on one side of the debate insist it doesn‟t matter
where organic food is grown; rather, the crucial factor is that the food meets stringent
standards to ensure that it is truly organic. Those on the other side of the debate are
equally vehement that locally grown organic food is preferable to imported organic
food, both because the fossil fuels used to transport imported organic food add to
global warming and because UK organic food supports local farmers. Advocates say
that you can find UK organic food at an organic farm shop, or even arrange for
organic food delivery right to your door. You can even find organic fish, such as
organic trout from an organic fish farm. There, the organic trout may live in 400-year-
old spring water and eat natural shrimp that comes from organic watercress beds.
Those who favor importing organic food point out that an organic farm shop will only
have seasonal foods, which severely limit the choices consumers have when preparing
meals. Imported organic food, they say, retains its superior nutritional quality while
delivering a bountiful variety of fruits and vegetables. Some people, of course, take
the middle ground, and opt to select their foods from an organic farm shop when what
they desire is in season and shop for imported organic food the remainder of the
year.The Bottom LinePeople may differ in their opinions about whether or not to limit
one‟s consumption of organic food to that grown locally, but virtually everyone
agrees that organic fruits, organic vegetables, organic fish, and organic meats are
preferable to those that are grown with chemical fertilizers, insecticides, and
fungicides. Currently, non-organic growers are authorized to use over 1,000
chemicals on crops. This translates into everything from soil erosion due to over-
2. farming to dangerous toxic runoff into our drinking water. Growing food organically
is a way to reverse this trend. With over 700,000 hectares dedicated to UK organic
food, farmers are trying to meet consumer demand. Still, some markets import almost
half of the organic food they sell. As for who will win the debate over locally grown
organic food vs. imported organic food, only time will tell.

7. Beautiful Skin With Manuka Honey Products
THURSDAY,NOVEMBER 24, 2011 @ 00:53
Article by Andrea Marshall
Active Manuka honey is a rare variety of what is known as “mono-floral” honey.
What that means is that the pollen that is gathered from the flowering bush comes
primarily from a single plant species. Manuka honey products come to you from New
Zealand, the single place on earth where this particular bush grows.
Active manuka honey has been used for centuries by the New Zealand natives for
medicinal purposes. It has been used to treat sore throats, stomach ulcers, and colitis.
Scientific studies have shown that the healing benefits of the compound come from its
powerful antibacterial, and antifungal properties.
Researchers as of late have been testing the effectiveness of active manuka honey in
treating the skin ulcers that result from antibiotic resistant staph infections. Although
there is still much more research to be done on the subject, so far the results have been
promising.
In New Zealand, manuka honey products are widely used. An organization called
“The Active Manuka Honey Association” regulates the production of manuka honey
products that are used for medicinal purposes, and they grade the varieties based on
the strength of their antibacterial properties.
Active manuka honey is use in a great variety of the skin creams and body lotions that
are manufactured in New Zealand. These products are very popular because they have
proven to increase the elasticity of the skin, and they support the growth of stronger
collagen.
Manuka honey products are primarily sold as lotions that have been specifically
formulated to prevent free radical damage, to prevent oxidative stress, and to counter
the outward signs of aging. The honey is also effective in skin care products because
its antibacterial property makes it beneficial in preventing the eruption of acne and
boils.
8. Active manuka honey has been shown to be very beneficial in the treatment of
psoriasis and eczema also. Since the moisture content of the raw honey is very low, it
has to be mixed with plant based oils in order to be able to maintain the moisture
necessary for deep skin penetration.
You of course will be able to find a large assortment of other skin care products on
the market that have a different kind of honey as an ingredient, and the company that
promotes the product will without a doubt say that there honey products are just as
good as manuka honey products. The research shows that they are wrong.
The New Zealand company that produces the best skin care products combines
activated manuka honey with another strong anti aging compound, Wakame sea kelp
from Japan. They also load their products with powerful antioxidants such as
coenzymeQ10 and natural vitamin E.
You won‟t see any advertisements for the company‟s product that include active
manuka honey, because they believe that the money that they could spend on
advertising is better spent on good research and development. You also won‟t see
their products in stores, you can only buy these skin creams direct from the
manufacturer, but I guarantee that you won‟t be sorry that you tried them.
