Organic Produce is a Necessity, Not an Option
When it comes to organic produce versus conventional produce there are two basic reasons why people choose conventional over organic.
- Poorly educated on the difference between Organic vs Conventional.
- Organic Produce is too expensive.
Comparison
On every level organic produce is a better choice for your mind, body, spirit and the planet. The production of conventional produce is based on greed and illusion. Your best interest and well being is not taken into consideration when corporations grow conventional foods. Organic farmers go to great extremes to assure that you are getting the healthiest produce possible.
Organic
Organic produce is non poisonous and non toxic. It means that no pesticides, herbicides, fungicides, chemical fertilizers, and waxes have been used in the process of growing the vegetation. Even the water used to water the produce is filtered to assure that chemicals do not “slip through the cracks” to contaminate food. Organic produce is healthier for you because it has a higher level of nutrients available with no negative reactions. Organic farming does not harm the earth; therefore making the switch to organic produce saves the planet. Eating organic produce supports the people that truly care about the well being of human beings, animals and nature. Shortly after making the switch to organic foods you will begin to taste a difference in the food quality as your taste buds become more sensitive. Organic foods have far more flavor and energy than their conventional cousins. Investing in organic food is an investment in your health. Remember, you are what you eat so you should provide your body with the best materials possible to build a better you.
Conventional
Conventional produce uses poisonous chemicals in the growing process. Pesticides, herbicides, fungicides, waxes, and chemical fertilizers which are hazardous to your health are all used with conventional farming. Toxic chemicals are used to triple and even quadruple the natural size of the foods. Harmful pesticides are used to destroy insects but in larger concentrations these same pesticides will destroy humans as well. After generations of being exposed to pesticides, insects become immune to the chemicals which mean that farmers must continue to strengthen the chemicals used in order to destroy the insects. These chemicals have become so powerful that they can destroy the plants that they were meant to protect as well as surrounding plant life. Produce has to be genetically altered so that they are strong enough not to be affected by poisons used on them. These chemicals are cancerous and they store as toxins in tissues such as fat and muscle cells. Society has not been educated on detoxification so these toxins continue to accumulate in the system and contribute to many health problems long term. More and more people are drinking bottled water. People are drinking more bottled water because they are trying to make a better health decision. Conventional produce is not watered with filtered water. The same chemicals that people are trying to escape find their way into the produce. Grapes, strawberries and many other watery fruits contain the water that people so cautiously try to avoid. Conventional food is also sprayed with wax to make it more appealing to the eye. Apples are not supposed to be shinny. If you can see your face in an apple you are staring into the face of death. Eating conventional fruits and vegetables is better than not eating vegetation at all but ideally, you don’t want to consume something that has as many health problems as it does health benefits.
Price Comparison
Organic produce can cost two to three times as much as conventional produce. The reason why it costs so much more is because of the care that is put into farming to assure that you are healthy. It is easy to spray crops with cheap chemicals that kill everything in sight but it is more challenging when you have to introduce certain insects to farms that naturally eat the insects that would normally destroy your produce or to filter the water the plants drink. On top of this, unfortunately stores raise the organic prices to exploit your desire to be healthier.
