Hi First name / there,
Organic food has a reputation. Usually, you hear about how it's significantly more expensive than conventionally produced food - and for what?
Is there really enough going on behind the scenes to justify the added expense?
Let's break down what it all means, and you be the judge:
ORGANIC FOODS and seeds are grown and produced differently from conventional foods. They cannot contain GMOs, pesticides, synthetic chemicals, artificial dyes, preservatives, growth hormones, or antibiotics and are not grown with radiation (bug killer) or sewage sludge (treated wastewater).
Yes, we said "sewage sludge." 🤢
To receive USFDA organic certification, farmers must follow specific growing and production practices to ensure they meet the above criteria - a process that usually takes years.
In addition, organic farming:
- Is more animal-friendly (meat sources, pollinators, etc.)
- Invests in a more sustainable, healthier food future
- Reduces pollution and exposure to environmental toxins
- Protects the soil and environment against cancerous pesticide contamination
So why does it matter?
Food is your body's fuel. It’s the stuff that shapes your cells and builds your tissues (bones, muscles, even your brain!). It's how you are energized and how you heal from within.
If tainted with harmful toxins, chemicals, and sewage sludge, will food ever truly be as effective as in its most natural form? Free of harmful toxins and cancerous pesticides?
Or will your body suffer the long-term fallout of chronic contamination from conventionally produced and genetically altered foods?
>>> Buying organic foods offers an assurance that you're not causing unnecessary harm with the life-giving substances you need.
>>> It also makes a statement to food growers about what's important to you, the consumer.
>>> It's an investment in your health, the organic industry, the future of our planet, and the quality of the food produced for the next generation and beyond.
Eating organic foods is a simple way to reduce environmental and chemical harm to your body.
Before skipping the organic section on your next grocery trip, remember these things.
