Don't begrudge the extra money; it's worth it when
considering your health. Here are my ten reasons for going
organic:
1. Organic crop is grown naturally, free from pesticides,
herbicides, fungicides and other cocktails of poisonous
chemicals. For example, an apple not organically grown can
have something like 25 different chemicals on its skin,
even when washed.
2. The nutrition value is something like 50% higher than
intensively farmed food: Higher vitamin, mineral, enzyme
and micro-nutrient content being the factors.
3. Saying no to GMO food is something I highly recommend
for three reasons: a) Considerations to safety.
Particularly the long-term effects are yet to be determined
and are potentially dangerous. Food companies and their
research and development have not invested enough time and
money on this. b) Natural occurring food has higher
nutrition value and c) Companies that genetically modify
will own the crop (patents). In other words, that which is
naturally belonging to Mother Earth could become property
of some greedy corporation. Think about the serious
implications here...Choosing organic can be your way of
saying no to GMO.
4. Intensively farmed animals are frequently given a wide
range of chemical cocktails such as antibiotics, hormones
like bovine growth hormone (BGH), anti-parasite drugs...
and other medications. These noxious substances remain in
the animals when they are killed and turned into food
produce for human consumption. The same applies to dairy
food.
5. Organically raised animals are at a far lesser risk of
becoming diseased and passing on the contamination to
humans after they have been killed for consumption. For
example, there were no BSE cases reported in organically
raised cows.
6. Many people such as myself think that organic food
tastes nicer.
7. Organic farming is more conducive to nature. It produces
a greater diversity of life and is more flourishing.
8.There is a far less chance of animal diseases such as BSE
occurring on organic farmlands, which can be quite costly.
9.There have been far higher cases of illness on intensive
farms amongst its workers. This has been related to the
agrochemicals used. Therefore, choosing organic farm
produce supports a healthier option, not only for the
animals but also for its workers.
10.Organic farmland is safer for the public at large to
visit People like myself have followed the good nutrition
protocol and have felt so much more vitalised, healthier
and illness-free. Naturally, I would encourage others to
try this for themselves if they haven't already. Knowing
the importance of good nutrition and how to distinguish it
allows you to realise that your health is in your hands.
