Buy Organic Food for Ultimate Health!

Why wouldn't you want to buy organic food? This is the way food used to come to us.

Today our fresh and processed foods contain pesticides, herbicides, antibiotics, chemical preservatives, genetically modified organisms (GMO), and who knows what else.

Avoid genetically modified foods and look for the organic label when shopping for groceries.Look for the "Non-GMO" or the "Organic" label when shopping for groceries.

The only reason that Barbara and I will not buy some organics is that they are too expensive. So, we roll the dice and hope the food isn't too contaminated. The next best thing to buying organic is to look for the non-GMO label.

A good thing today is that the demand for cleaner food is increasing dramatically. With more production of organic and non-GMO food, the prices are coming down.

So how can we identify organic food? The official organic seal will appear somewhere on the product. If it's fresh farm produce, you may have to rely on the grocer or farmer to tell you the truth.

Good Reasons to Buy Organic Food

Today processed non-organic foods are responsible for:

  • obesity
  • learning problems

Organic food:

  • products have more intense natural flavors.
  • improves our natural systems with cleaner water supply both above and below ground.

Processed food has:

  • dyes

The nutritional quality of organic food is superior. Organic crops are grown in healthy biologically active soil and have higher levels of minerals, anti-oxidants and vitamins.
