Why Organic?
I think the benefits of going organic or at least adding it to your shopping is summed up quite nicely in this picture I took of an Organic health food shop in Balham, earlier this year.
When most people think about Organic food, the first thing that probably comes to mind is expensive fruit and vegetables that sometimes look pretty much like the normal variety, but with a higher price tag. This short article touches on the benefits of going organic...
So, why organic?
* More taste
* More vitamins
* Animal Welfare
* Sustainable farming
* No chemicals
* No Genetic Modified Organisms (GMOs)
* No pesticides
* Less allergies
Organically produced fruit and vegetables are grown on fields that have been left fallow, where no form of chemical pesticides have been used. Organic produce is much more labour-intensive hence the higher prices for these natural produce in the supermarkets. Most organic produce is locally grown as flying food long distances often impairs their quality. Organically grown foodstuffs are given the Soil Association's seal of approval for meeting high organic food standards.
Although organic foods can be very expensive, organically produced foods are popular because of animal welfare, allergy sufferers seeking alternatives, some consumers switching to vegetarian as well as Vegan, options, while some people just lack confidence in animal derived foods due to Avian (bird) flu and swine flu outbreaks around the world, Mad Cow Disease or Cretzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) in humans etc.
Organic foods do not use pesticides and are naturally harvested. People with fruit and chemical allergies, should try to move over to eating organically produced foods and see if this helps to lessen or prevent their allergies. Organically produced food is also Genetically Modification Free (GM).
Also, look out for organic cleaning materials and products when you are out shopping, or buy from specialist organic or health food shops. These products are usually derived from naturally occuring products and should help individuals suffering with allergies as they are chemical-free.
