We've Switched Over

We are going organic. I know some people don't believe in it, they think there are no benefits of eating organic but that's so not the case. Organic food tends to contain higher levels of vitamin C, cancer fighting antioxidants, and essential minerals such as calcium, magnesium, iron and chromium. There are also no nasty additives. Organic food doesn't contain food additives
that can cause health problems such as heart disease, osteoporosis,migraines and hyperactivity.


Organic food avoids pesticides. More than 400 chemical pesticides are routinely used in conventional farming and residues are often present in non-organic food. There is not a reliance on drugs. Organic farming standards prohibit the routine use of antibiotics and growth hormones in farm animals. Really organic food just tastes better healthy soil + organic seed = healthy, organic food that naturally contains flavor-enhancing essential vitamins and minerals. Do a taste test and compare non-organic carrots to organic carrots. Organic carrots taste like they were just pulled from the garden and non-organic carrots taste, well…….pretty bland.

I know some think it's expensive to buy organic but when you really sit back and think about it what would you rather have. Food that is pumped full of growth hormones or food that tastes good simply because of how it's grown? To me the choice is pretty simple.
