What Does 'Organic' Mean?

Organic food is cultivated and grown without artificial pesticides, herbicides, fertilisers and chemicals. Those people eating organic food say it simply tastes better and is a no-brainer if you want to optimise your health.
Why should I go organic?
  • The taste is realy great, and it is cheaper than you think. The supermarkets are now selling organic due to public demand.
  • If the pesticides are removed from the growing process the food must be healthier.Some pesticides are residual and never breakdown. Animals fed on grains containing antibiotics and growth hormones can interfere with your natural body system and create imbalance.
  • Free range livestock aren't penned and subsequently don't require injection of drugs to prevent disease. Grazing land isn't treated with artificial pesticides and fertilizers.
My recommendations....
  1. Eat seasonally produced foods.
  2. Eat a balance of a wide range of foods.
  3. Focus on the quality of the food.
  4. Make small but permanent changes to your menu.
  5. Develop a green thumb and create your own organic food. You will save money.
