Why Organic Though?

So, Heather and Dustin, why do I need to buy organic food? Why can't I just buy conventional? What is the difference?

Well, first off we want to live longer, so we avoid chemical-treated foods that cause cancer and many other diseases. You may have seen some of the major studies out there showing that there is a higher vitamin & mineral content in organic food (about 25% more nutritious than conventional). More nutrition in your body means more energy, getting full faster on good food, healthier hair, skin and nails as well as a more positive outlook on life.

What about the higher prices, well organic food costs on average about 15% - 20% more than conventional which is a heck of a savings considering health care bills that will hit you in years to come after consuming pesticides IN your food. It's not just on the outside. The skin of the fruit, veggies and grains absorb whatever is being sprayed on them, just like your body. Would you spray raid on your garden or better yet your skin? Also, I'm sure you have heard of the horrific GMO seeds. Most organic food is not GMO, good to know right?! Long-term studies of GMO foods have not been evaluated, since GMO's were commercially introduced in 1994. Our generation is being screwed by eating this crap! Support small farms that care about your health and I'm talking about the ones that take pride in growing organic food from heirloom seeds. If we don't get back to organic farming, in the future we will have to pay a heavy price. Conventional farming is dropping a lot of chemicals into the earth, which is killing the soil because it is robbing the earth of its natural minerals.
