2. Have you walked by the organic food section of your
grocery store and wondered, why do people pay more for
food that is called organic? You may or may not even
know the difference between organic and non organic
foods. Basically a food that is labeled as organic is free of
chemicals, antibiotics, and growth hormones. So what
organic really means is that food is 100% natural.
There are 3 main reasons why people eat organic food
even though this type of food costs more.
Better Health
The first reason that individuals choose organic foods is
that they are potentially healthier. When you eat food that
is laden with chemicals and pesticides, you have a higher
risk of developing health problems such as cancer.
Studies indicate that if you eat a normal apple (after it was
washed), you are still consuming around nine different
types of pesticides. When you eat an organic food, it will
be free of these toxic pesticides. There is also a debate as
to whether these organic foods have more nutrients than
normal food. Some studies show that these foods have
more nutrients and then there are other studies that do not
indicate this fact at all. In any case if you choose organic
foods, you will likley be getting less toxic chemicals in your
diet.
3. Better Environment
Other people that consume organic foods are ones that
are concerned about the environment. When a food is
farmed organically, chemical fertilizers and pesticides are
not used in the farming process. The yields are not as
good but it is better for the soil and water conservation as
well as reduce pollution. By choosing to eat organic food,
you are indirectly doing a small part in protecting the
environment.
It Tastes Better
The next reason that individuals choose to buy organic
foods is that they taste better. Now do they really taste
better? Some people say yes others say no. Does organic
food really taste better? The difference in taste is more
pronounce in certain foods, not all. Some of the foods that
may taste better are chicken, bananas, strawberries,
celery, milk and carrots does taste better when they are
organic.
4. Some polls show that a majority of people believe that
organic food benefits the environment and health but only
a small percentage of individuals are actually buying this
type of food. The main reason for this is because this food
can cost up to three times as much as the non-organic
foods. However there are ways to get organic foods at a
lower price. Here are some suggestions
- Clubs or co-ops
- Directly from farmers
- Buy in bulk
- Store brands instead of name brands
- Plant your own organic garden
- Buy in season
- Only buy certain foods organically (the ones known to
be really bad for you)
- Don't have to switch over to organic food 100%.
Here are 12 foods that may have a high level of
contamination: peach, apple, sweet bell pepper, celery,
nectarine, strawberries, cherries, kale, lettuce, imported
grapes, carrot and pear. So if you want to slowly switch
over to organic foods without killing your budget, then you
may want to start out with these foods.
5. So is it worth switching over to organic foods? It is really
up to you but if you do switch you will likely be eating
foods that are better for you and the environment.
