10 REASONS TO BE ORGANIC

 
01-Jul-2007 by pallavi raj

In summary, there are many reasons to choose organically grown produce:

  • Grown without the use of chemical pesticides of fertilisers
  • Grown without the use of genetically modified organisms
  • No toxic metal contanimation
  • More essential and trace minerals
  • Organic farming is much better for the environment
  • Children are much more vulnerable to toxins than are adults, hence children especially should be fed an organic diet and taught how to resist junk-food
  • Prevents soil erosion
  • Better for farm workers. A Natural Cancer Institute study found that farmers exposed to herbicides had a greater risk, by a factor of six, than non-farmers of contracting cancer.
  • Organic isn't really more expensive: many hidden costs are involved with the buying of conventionally produced food products
  • Tastes much better and you can eat the skin
