Organic Foods
As more and more products fill the shelves of our grocery stores, it gets increasingly complicated to choose healthy foods. We know we want to avoid harmful additives, foods high in sugar and salt, and snacks that have no nutritious value, but sometimes all of those elements are very hard to avoid.
What makes it even more difficult is when food companies claim their products are made from “natural” ingredients, when instead the foods undergo such dramatic processing and chemical alteration that they don’t contain the natural nutrients of the original food at all. Unfortunately, the FDA doesn’t strictly regulate what companies call “natural.” As long as the food was somehow derived from plant or animal products, it can be called natural, no matter what kind of chemical changes it was subjected to.
Organic foods are regulated carefully by the FDA. Unlike natural foods, they are never grown with pesticides or genetically-modified properties. To label a product “organic,” it has to be grown without pesticides or modification. For meats, eggs or milk to be organic, the animals must eat healthy organic diets and be given no antibiotics or growth hormones.
Organic shoppers know they are getting some of the healthiest foods available. However, they also know the food was grown in a way that didn’t leave harmful pesticides or herbicides in the soil or water, and that the animals most likely lived healthy, cruelty-free lives. Buying organic foods is an important first step in protecting the health of your family and supporting an environmentally friendly lifestyle.
