Organic Food Blog

You know, I always find it interesting when critics of the organic food industry come out against eating organic foods. I just don’t see the point — why bash people for trying to lead a healthier lifestyle? The latest flap is going on over in England, where critics are coming out in droves against eating organic, saying there is no difference in organic and non-organic food.

I’m sorry, but I just don’t see how this argument makes the least bit of sense. The health benefits of growing — and eating — organic food are plain for anyone to see. I mean just the fact that organic fruits and vegetables are not growing using harmful pesticides make them better for you. I don’t see how anyone can argue that eating pesticides and not consuming them are one and the same. The same goes for organic dairy products. Animals used in organic farming are not given harmful hormones or growth steroids to enhance their dairy or meat products. How can this not be better for you?

If critics of organic foods want to go on consuming the harmful chemicals found in product and meat in mainstream markets, let them go ahead and do so. But do so without trying to sell us on the fact that eating organically is not the healthier alternative. It may be more expensive, but in the long run, I am willing to pay money to help preserve my good health for as long as possible.
