Reasons That Natural Food Is More Nutritious
Organic vegetables cost a lot more than ordinary foods, and we pay the extra as we think they are much better for us, but are they? This is a heavily debated subject with many on each side of the argument.
There are those who swear by the health benefits of eating organic, while others dismiss this view as garbage. In fact, if you stop and think about it for a moment, naturally grown, organic foods are going to be good for us, fact. Scientific testing backs this up.
Farming organically is good for both our bodies and our planet, only sustainable sources are used so lessen the carbon footprint.
The higher prices that are charged for organic food is justified by the fact that our environment is paying a much lower price than it does by conventional farming methods. Isn’t it worth paying a bit more than risking long term health problems caused by other foods?
In the past we have looked to the FDA for guidance and trusted their judgements, where organic farming is concerned, however, they seem to be dithering. We applauded them for banning some of the pesticides used in conventional farming, but then we found that other carcinogens were still being used. Then they approved the sale to the general public of over 40 kings of GM crops, so my faith in them has drastically declined.
