Organic food as a fast-growing segment of U.S. agriculture
This segment of U.S. agriculture shows rapid growth. Only in 2007, organic food retailers earned more than $ 20 billion. The annual growth in organic dairy sector is estimated at 18 percent by 2010.
Let's look at the main idea of the ecological food production, ie, use of materials and processes that could improve the ecological balance of natural systems. We can not be absolutely certain that organic products are free from residues, but there are best practices involved in the production, designed to minimize pollution of air, soil and water. And the rules state controlled food production and strict federal y, too.
First, people tend to treat organic food so that it is free of fertilizers or pesticides. However, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) marked foods as organic if 95 percent pure.
Sometimes products contain only 70 percent of organic materials or even less. This type of food can not be called organic, but it can be done with the inscription "with organic ingredients." Therefore, it is necessary to distinguish between these types of products in the supermarket.
De facto non-organic practices in the United States release more than a billion pounds of pesticides. The USDA tests show that organic products contain three or four times less pesticide residues, conventionally produced fruits and vegetables.
And conventional farming practices can in water contamination. According to research by the Environmental Working Group that was conducted back in 1955 on the Corn Belt, Louisiana and Maryland, scientists have concluded that the pesticide contamination of water was the level of health risk. The solution was in organic farming and development of land.
It 'important to note that the term organic has a different meaning than organic. Some food producer is looking for increased sales and a reputation to do tricks for labeling food as natural as it does not correspond to organic food standards.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) allows the use of the term "natural" for food, contains no artificial dyes or synthetic substances added ingredients.

What's the deal with organic food?
The funny thing about the game anti-biological is to choose the idea that organic food is a new trend that has the power to be among the common people is not much basis. But the fact is that before 20 century, all food was organic. The term does not exist, because they must. This type of food simply reverses the 20th Century trends in food production that affect many people consider both human health and the planet. In other words, "organic food is not some new glimpse. If you ask an organic farmer, will say that the conventional non-organic farming is unsustainable and volatile.
Basically, avoid this type of agricultural use of pesticides, herbicides and insecticides on crops. Many people mistakenly believe that these chemicals be avoided altogether if in fact still sometimes as a last resort, which is not often used. When it comes to animals is to prevent biological methods, the use of growth hormones and antibiotics that are non-organic farming standards, and They use only organic feed.
The result of these methods is that organic farms can be a bit performance 'not, and can produce more natural to suffer damage, but these plants also have an impact on the environment much less. You must not damage local ecosystems, they do not contain chemical residues, they do not contribute to rapid adaptation in populations of insects, and they consume significantly less energy than their non-organic.
Many countries now have official government agencies responsible for setting standards and certifying organic production, food manufacturers are using organic methods. are identified in the United States, for an organic processed food must contain at least 95% of organic food has no artificial additives, and no process-specific technologies, such as chemical aging, genetic modification and irradiation. Some countries also demand for organic food in recyclable or biodegradable materials to be packed, but this is not currently the standard in the U.S.
As you can see, organic food makes sense, although not much healthier than non-organic food. Sure, we still have the highest rates that go together to speak with organic food, but the good news is that this is changing. Global organic production is growing more than doubled in the last six years, and U.S. production by about 20 percent per year. More and more conventional stores are carrying organic products, and find the content of total organic food stores is growing. What does this mean? comes with greater availability of lower prices. Many large farms have created organic side of their company, all hope of a positive cash-for consumers who want to go organic.

Why eat organic food? The benefits of the dangers of biological and non-organic
Image : http://www.flickr.com
No wonder that chemicals strong enough to kill insects and plants can be dangerous infections on the human body and the environment. There are literally hundreds of permitted pesticides, fungicides, hormones, antibiotics and other chemical additives in non-organic food, not to mention additives for processing and aromas of cultivation and to introduce insectisides. All of the main reasons to eat organic> Power.
Over 3,000 high-risk toxin found in the United States with food, organic food law are excluded from this. These include 73 pesticides by the Environmental Protection Agency classified as potentially carcinogenic. loss of pesticides in water supply - for example, found a 1996 study by the Environmental Working Group, 96 percent of all water samples collected from 748 cities in the U.S. contained pesticide atrazine.
toxic metals such asCadmium, lead and mercury into the food supply chain through industrial pollution of soil and groundwater and machinery used in food processing and packaging. For example, lead solder used to seal food cans gives the residue despite adversity to health. Cadmium has links with lung, prostate and testicular cancer and the mercury is toxic to brain cells and lead to autism and Alzheimer's disease. Heavy metals affect the nervous system function blockthe production of hemoglobin causes anemia and to reduce diseases such as multiple sclerosis and IQ. Organic Food Safe-guarding against toxic metals.
Solvents are used in commercially processed foods, white blood cell damage, lower the immune system. In addition, benzene and toluene solvents, have links with many types of cancer known.
Products imported from developing countries, agricultural chemicals that have been banned in developed includeCountries.
Cell Health
Other agricultural chemicals are harmful to the health of cells, such as PCP (pentachlorophenol), DNA fragmentation in animals, and many other chemicals found to cause damage to cell membranes and negatively affect the functioning of mitochondria. These include the insecticide endosulfan and the herbicide paraquat, as well as chemical 2-4-D, dinoseb and prathion. Pesticides as chlopyrifos, endrin and fenthion havebeen shown to stimulate certain enzymes involved in chemical signaling that has been brought to an imbalance of inflammatory diseases, psoriasis and atherosclerosis-related.
Children at risk
Organic foods can be crucial to protect children from harmful contaminants to these toxic effects. Two separate reports by the Natural Resources Defense Council (1989) and the Environmental Working Group (1998), revealed that millions of American children wereexposed to pesticides from foods that have exceeded the limits considered safe. These include neuro-toxins that are harmful to the developing brain and nervous system, and possibly carcinogenic, researchers may be a particular risk to children and young people feel in times of strong growth and breast development. The benefits of organic food
organic fruit and vegetables grown from clean, natural soil rich and balancedmineral content, are not only free from chemical contamination, but to win hands down in terms of taste and offer a wider range of nutrients. organic equivalents do not contain more water and less vitamins and minerals. Chemistry, Danish researchers published in the August 2003 Journal of Agricultural, Food and showed significantly greater amounts of flavonoids in the blood and urine samples from those on organic compared to conventionally grownDiet.
10 reasons to go organic.
The Soil Association, a registered charity based in the UK and in the body of organic certification, lists reasons to go organic tenth These are:
1. To protect future generations
2. Pay the real cost of real food
3. An independent guarantee
4. to protect water quality
5. To enjoy more taste and nutrition
6. For chemicals from your plate
7. To reduce global warming andSave energy
8. To prevent soil erosion
9. For small farmers
10. Contribution to the restoration of biological diversity

12 most dangerous non-organic foods:
Apples, peppers, celery, cherries, grapes, peaches, nectarines, pears, potatoes, strawberries, raspberries, spinach,
Organic superfoods
Besides the switch to organic foods in the diet, you must add a lot of superfoods! Superfoods are the kings and queens of the vegetable kingdomwith excellent performance - the most powerful, rich in anti-aging, antioxidant dense, nutrient, fighting disease, beautify, strengthen the immune system, improving mood food on the planet!
These include organic vegetables such as spinach and broccoli, which can already be in your diet to more unusual dishes such as pollen, goji berries or coconut oil.

Organic food health issues - Facts and Myths About Organic Food
A look at the advantages and concerns of ordinary foods compared to organic products
During 1990,
After the introduction of organic food and its consequent increase in popularity in late 1990, people are skeptical about their supposed superiority. Skeptics and producers of traditional foods, he concluded that the benefits of organic food, in theory, not fact. Others argue the superiority of organic products over conventional products were unfounded and unsubstantiated. The truth behind all the controversy is that during 1990, had not done enough testing to prove the alleged benefits of organic produce or endorse the disadvantages of the food produced in traditional ways.
Biological facts of today
Since studies of the 90s there were several have been conducted to demonstrate the nutritional value of organic farming through Improved research and analysis of vitamins, nutrients and minerals of both organic and conventional produce grown. There are significantly higher values of the various economic components in organic products, including:
* Chrome: Prevents hardening of arteries and type 2 diabetes
* Calcium and Boron: building strong bones and prevent osteoporosis
* Lithium: a common chemical antidepressants and mood stabilizers
* Salicylic acid: anti-inflammatory, can prevent heart disease
* Antioxidants: protects cells from damage
* Magnesium prevented: that death during a heart attack
* Selenium: helps prevent heart disease and some cancers
* Vitamin C is based on immune system
And while some of these nutrients in organic products, are not alone. This list could go on, how do more research on the nutritional benefits of organic food.
As we consider the positive attributes of organic food is superior to the harmful effects of foods traditionally grown in order to understand why organic food is higher. While many have been approved by chemicals in agriculture today, had not been explored to determine their safety for the country or the environment. Subsequent research revealed that most chemicals used in traditional agriculture and the negative effects on people. non-organic foods were analyzed and were found harmful chemicals, heavy metals, solvents and various hormones including. Some of the conditions associated with these substances:
* Cancer
* Heart disease
* Osteoporosis
* Migraine
* Hyperactivity
* Reduced IQ
* Hearing impaired
* Reduction of growth during childhood
* Anemia
* Alzheimer's
* Multiple Sclerosis
* Rheumatoid arthritis
* The onset of puberty
* Increased antibiotic-resistant strains of the disease
not too different from the list of benefits attributed to organic food, this list of harmful effects of chemicals used in traditional agriculture has caused only a partial list. While research continues into chemicals used in traditional agriculture and the impact on the human body, is the circumstances that are added to this list. To date, most research on the effects of chemicals on them has made individually. The research is developed around including various combinations of chemicals in many conventional food products, affects the probability that the conditions further add to the list of undesirable high.
While there are obviously many advantages for organic farming is not without errors. It is known that organic products are more expensive, depending on where you buy organic food, which could cost twice as much as regular store brands. There is also concern that natural fertilizers as plant material and manure could pests such as E. coli contain. Even if contamination is rare, can be harmful if proper food handling is not used.
Even with the disadvantages of organic foods are proving to be much safer for consumption of food grown conventionally. In addition to health benefits, organic farming practices also benefit the environment which they consider vital for years to come. Go Organic ... E 'for the community, but also good for the environment and good for you!

The benefits of organic foods help us lose weight in many ways
Organic food is the best way to go if you want to lose weight quickly. Can be expensive in the first place, but the benefits of organic food from the price is so far.
organic life helps, because if we do not have our body uses all organic foods harmful chemicals, which destroy food to grow food. When our body every time toxic pesticides, when we destroy something to eat, we kill slowly.
Our bodies are more sensitive machines and can only enough poison to get rid of once. Our liver does a good job there, but if we constantly put more toxins in our bodies on a daily basis, then our liver begins to feel overwhelmed and stop working at some point by all the abuse.
One of the advantages of organic food is that organic food is much tastier than non-organic food. If you've ever bought a peach from the supermarket and then bought one at a local Farmers Market or local health food store that has grown organically, it would certainly be the difference in taste. greenpeople.org / healthfood.htm an extraordinary resource can be found at local stores of natural products. You can go to a health food store by the state you are in. You can also see the world for natural food stores live.
If you're into organic gardening or want to try hand once, then once in luck, because there is a wealth of information online. Click here for tips organic gardening and a lot of useful information for horticulture grow almost anything you want.
If you're a big milk drinker, as they are, then buy organic milk is the best, but the milk can be very expensive and you do not have enough money to buy organic milk because the next thing to buy at the best milk it is not. mix milk is homogenized to break the molecules of fat in milk, so that the fat is created equal with the rest of the mixture of milk.
Actually this process of homogenization is very harmful to our body, because the small fat molecules that have broken apart are no longer to digest and start creating wreck havoc on our internal organs through holes in them.
The most important thing we need to lose weight guide to remember is to give our bodies to help out, because most aid giving our bodies the better and faster than you can successfully lose weight and keep it that way.
It 's another thing that goes hand in hand with organic food, and that is to live independently. This kind of life makes us more in harmony with nature instead of against them, and these can be easily compensated for our bodies. We also have a lifestyle much cleaner and less expensive.

In the race faster development we have inflicted serious damage to our natural resources and then to us. Pesticides once the promotion and protection of the crop is now used indiscriminately harms the environment and human life. Over the years, these chemicals accumulate in the environment and poison us slowly. If the form of deposits regularly consumed in our tissues and vital organs, including liver, kidney and brain.
THREAT
Over the yearsProgress, leading to deadly diseases and even cancer are a reason why cumulative poisons. "In fact, studies in recent years have shown that chemicals are harmful to the environment as a built environment that have penetrated even the most natural and safest of all sources of food, milk. More than 350 human pollutants in breast milk of women in the UK identified. Pesticides poisoning, breast milk and have negative effects on the immune system of newbornsSystem.
Pesticide use
The misery is that over the banning of pesticides, they are largely consumed by farmers and peasants are used;, unnoticed by us. India is the largest producer of chemical pesticides in the countries of South Asia and African countries. A number of studies have found more cases of brain tumors, leukemia and birth defects in children with early exposure to pesticides, according to the National Resources Defense Council.
HARVARD IS
AStudy of the Harvard School of Public Health conducted in Boston, found a 70% increase risk of developing Parkinson's disease, to those affected, even less pesticides. The WHO estimates that more than one million pesticide poisonings and 20,000 deaths each year worldwide. The indiscriminate use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides to increase yields and save crops, domestic animals and diseases, no doubt increased food production, food security has created, butFurthermore, in a series led by health risks. It also has the agro-ecosystem is deteriorating badly. This explained the need to move to organic cereals to maintain the health and safety of food value.
organic Farming
organic foods are grown organic, without pesticides and chemicals. Is not a "product", but agriculture is a process. "Fewer external inputs, avoiding the use ofChemo synthetic fertilizers, pesticides and pharmaceuticals. Instead, with nature and natural systems works both agricultural yields and disease resistance increase. It builds healthy soil and prevents the penetration of chemicals in soil and water. Helps protect the top soil, water and air.

The truth about organic food - Organic food can lower cancer risk?
What is BIO?
to earn food and drink, the organic label from S. U. Department of Agriculture, food surfaces must remain That Are free of synthetic pesticides, insecticides, growth, and other Potential toxins such as herbicides and growth hormones for a minimum period of three years.
On the surface, it seems that food should be produced in this country of pesticides, herbicides, growth hormones and free right? This is what the producers of these products may lead consumers to believe that if more than the admission by omission.
What is strong is that many of the synthetic chemicals that have been applied in the field, year, and in the atmosphere and water, there is soil pollution can do that and remain there for decades, and some can last as long as 100 years.
Bio is just the latest trend among many, or is here to stay? And if organic is the way of the future will be because of marketing Preying on the fears of consumers Lulling, while a false sense of security? If an informed consumer to buy and continue to choose to eat organic food, you should base their decisions on facts and not half truths.
The differences between organic and conventional farming
Conventionally
Apply chemical fertilizers to promote plant growth
Use insecticides to reduce / pesticides pests and diseases
herbicide is used to control weeds
Give animals antibiotics, growth hormones and drugs to prevent disease and promote growth
Organic
Apply natural fertilizers such as manure and compost to support plant growth
Reduces the beneficial insects and birds, or confusion technique traps pests and diseases
Crop rotation, up grass by hand or mulch to control weeds
Give animals organic feed and allow them access to the outside. With preventive measures such as pasture rotation and a balanced diet and a clean environment to prevent disease
What else should consider the food?
Biotechnology, the science through the marriage of biology and technology is created, a relatively new and growing. Biotechnology has brought animal cloning in the foreground, and maybe the table in the near future.
Another area of nutrition that biotechnology is advancing in which genetically modified organisms (GMOs), as amended. genetic changes that is the most basic provision of the life of cells, ie DNA, refers to the ability to add, subtract or alter the genetic code of a plant, animal or microorganism. In essence, the ability of GM to genetically manipulate something in his features, not a rule.
While the sale of cloned meat is already U. S. Food and Drug Administration approval (without labels to differentiate cloned meat supplies from other meat), there's hesitation in the scientific community for long-term safety of GMOs. If the delay caused in our food free of GMOs? Instead, they have in the food supply since 1990.
Both cloning and genetic engineering, new science, one wonders what can really think of the long-term safety of the food that was created by them must be known. Science can not even long-term safety of plants, animals and micro-organisms themselves, that create these processes.
How do you think cancer is a mutation of its own, may not be scientifically altered foods may actually cause more cancer, but in the short term, then in the long run?
What can we learn from the information on organic food Conclude
The only reasonable conclusions about organic food to eat to achieve are:
The purchase is expected to increase the food budget
You can easily reduce the amount of chemicals they are exposed to your body is exposed to through food exposure at least three years unless directed to synthetic chemicals.
The organic food industry on your knowledge of partial information have to see that organic foods are healthier, for example, that organic foods will reduce the risk of cancer - and They are in this partial knowledge translation in higher profits for their industry to count.
Although evidence that organic food reduces the risk of cancer is not too large, many people find that switching to organic production by improving their health.

To begin to grow food organically
Image : http://www.flickr.com
If you get back to gardening, to learn how to start can be a problem. And if there is space, you may wonder if small organic vegetable growing your own is entirely possible. But there are many ways for overcoming the problem of space, so read on.
First, you must ensure that you are among the three most important controlling factors. If you are starting organic gardening, is the right way to make sure your hands get the most out of material you have.
Start right- Start Time
It begins with an analysis of the growing conditions are your plants. This is the first step and most important, if you want to grow your garden. New gardeners often discouraged when the plants are usually careful not to produce the rich harvest they expected.
Then look at the first and most important requirements for gardening at home:
Sunlight
Position
Well-drained medium such as soil, compost or soilMixture
Sunlight
Sunshine (or at least strong sunlight) is important if the plants are healthy and nutritious. Avoid areas that fall under the shadow of the walls or overhanging branches. The more sunlight you allow your plants grow faster and become stronger. Of course, in extremely hot climates, the cover of shade trees and light compensation often be an advantage. Most fruit and vegetables need a minimum of six hours of direct sunlightmaximum production safety.
Position
The ideal situation for the garden beds is a flat land in the sun, but if you need much space you need to find alternatives. Growing vegetables in containers can be equally rewarding, and jars or other containers which have the advantage of your plants, where they move to get the best light and shade as the seasons change.
Another option for those with little or no flat space,Start a vertical garden. If the walls, pergolas, etc. have seen dripping balconies with beautiful plants like roses and jasmine, it is not difficult to imagine the same situation, where the flowers of edible plants, such as pumpkin, zucchini, passion fruit, tomatoes or even be replaced imagine.
Verandas and courtyards present ideal situations for gardeners vertical. Use your space wisely and you could soon be a paradise garden of edible plants.
Ground
Groundis the only ingredient that most urban and many suburban gardeners behind. ground So if you have little or none, or because the harsh and unproductive, a raised bed may be looking for the answer.
raised beds allows the type of soil you are building in a confined space like. You also have the advantage of saving your hard work. Since the bed off the ground you will not need to bend half by far, the other advantage is that you needlittle or no excavation.
commercial versions of raised beds are available in different and can be set accordingly. They range from small, pre-cut lengths of plastic self-watering container hardwood that you assemble.
But it is possible that there are suitable materials for the construction of a high base available at home. Once you know where to build your garden, to decide which is simply a matter of creating a rectangular area bordered with wood, bricks, stones or gardenEdge materials.
The next step is to fill this space with old newspapers. Water it down so you do not fly away.
If, after the method "NO DIG your next layer of hay, alfalfa would be covered by a layer of straw composting. Then your installation of plants in a garden scoop well. 'Water and wait for the magic happens.
One way a bit 'different requires that you add garden compost on the top right of the newspaper. Continue with a bag of mushroom compost and add yourLayer of straw. Water the soil regularly for a few days to settle the mixture, then a part of the straw and the plant in "earth."
You could start with an ambitious 8ft x 8ft plot, or if you're the type who likes to experiment, a small 3ft x 3ft bed a lot 'to teach you about the best combinations of three essential elements - Sunshine, position and drainage.
The most important things you should know about organic food
These are grown all kinds of fruits, vegetables and animals that are processed and unrefined, or that has grown without the use of algaecides, herbicides, insecticides, bactericides, fungicides, antibiotics, antibiotics, growth hormones or chemical synthesis. Organic-raised animals are fed a very healthy and balanced diet and not genetically modified.
While organic production of some non-organic fertilizers are used. But these are limited non-organic fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides and fungicides and are used only as a last resort and not as harmful to our health and the environment than the one used in the manufacture of non-organic food.
What are the benefits of eating these natural foods?
Including these foods in the diet Natural Which is a great way to Improve and Maintain your health while at the same time helping to Improving our environment. Besides the health benefits you get when you eat these natural foods, methods for the manufacture of food products by using environmentally friendly. They are not dangerous fertilizers and pesticides that are harmful to the soil and our environment, there are. So they left the breeding grounds and contribute to the conservation of insects and other small animals.
Contrary to popular belief, natural foods that they only come in the form of fruits, vegetables and livestock, there are a variety of organic foods within the category, such as beef, poultry, fish, pasta, sauces, vegetables, fruit, fruit, fruit juices, vegetable juices, frozen foods, soups, cereals, grains, nuts, chocolate, biscuits, bread, dairy, sugar, honey, syrup and wine.
These natural foods are processed without the use of artificial colorings, flavorings, sweeteners, hydrogenated fats, trans fats, saturated fats, additives or artificial preservatives. As a result, the taste much better than non-organic food because all the natural flavors that were not in any way altered by the use of synthetic chemicals.
non-organic food, the other with large amounts of processed sodium, sugar, artificial additives and preservatives so that look and taste more appealing to consumers and extend their resistance. The nutritional value of organic food is not strongly influenced by the changing nature of food handling and therefore subject to important vitamins, fiber and other healthy nutrients lost. In an attempt to replace lost nutrients, vitamins and mineral synthesis, rather than recorded.
Organic foods contain more nutrients, rich in vitamins, more fiber, minerals and essential fatty acids of non-organic food. They also tend to be more coverage because of their high nutritional value. non-organic food on the opposite side are less filling because of their low nutritional value. Following the acquisition process and filled with sugar and salts that are addicted, non-organic foods tend to leave you craving for more food, which often leads to more eating.
These natural foods are not loaded with potentially harmful synthetic chemicals, additives and pesticides, which are digested if eaten and stored in the body. It 's a well known fact that pesticides in food for many diseases like cancer, Alzheimer's linked to some birth defects, obesity and overweight. According to recent studies, these natural products really better for the fight many of these chronic health problems that afflict our society.

Organic food does not necessarily
100% Organic - should not contain chemicals, additives, plastics, pesticides or genetically modified material.
USDA Organic - contains 95% organic ingredients. May contain plastic, they are''in a list approved.
Made with organic - 70% organic.
All labels are required, the list of organic and inorganic ingredients. 100% USDA and labels must state the name of organic certification.
Farmers, the organic label, but it will also decide to use fertilizers or pesticides banned 'look' of certification standards are relaxed to find.
Many of the "rules" on organic foods are subject to interpretation. For example, dairies selling milk as organic when it comes from cows that have "access to" pasture, even if they are denied access.
Truly organic dairy farmers who actually keep the cows are a lot of problems in price competition with large confinement dairies, cows from a "pasture" may, for a few minutes one week turn around. And of course the consumer pays for both the "false" organic milk for the real thing.
More worrying is the fact that 90% of organic food for children now contain additives, said increased brain and vision are.
These additives have been banned a few years ago, but it was a program manger for the USDA formula lobbying by the creators, dismissed his staff and approved additives. If your organic baby food label boasts that it contains DHA and ARA, it is possible to feed the children, synthetic fatty acids, which have been rejected, was convinced by the program manager, "to enable it.
These fatty acids are often known by a potential neurotoxin, such as hexane - a product that will probably not be approved, if someone was looking for.
When a USDA deputy administrator must approve this plan, he said, because the formula makers, that these fatty acids was not the list of previously agreed as a result of mere oversight. He said the law prohibits the use of hexane, the treatment is organic foods, but does not extend the prohibition on processing of synthetic additives.
Other products of green and white label "USDA Organic prevent the cheese, wood, paper and organic duck faux aggregation, which contains a synthetic substance, there is a true story contains.
I'm sure there are others in similar settings for the USDA deputy administrator who was OK to allow the use of additives in hexane has decided to produce baby food, but after reading about this woman, I see it as the fox guarding the Chicken Coop. In an interview, said to have been seen in the federal program purpose "of the sector to grow," and thought the dispute was about plastics in organic food, mostly ridiculous. "
I think this lady needs a job to do something other than protecting the American consumer. What do you think?

Why some people are not a fan of organic food?
They assume that this is just a marketing ploy, it's too crazy with leaders of creative people go to for their products. What I do not know is that it is a very complex process that a manufacturer must undergo to successfully grow organic foods. It 'easy to be led by labels but, and this is a problem.
For example, some people have bought what they thought, where organic food in the past. What is later discovered that these products contain only organic ingredients, some but not complete. They felt cheated and betrayed by the producers even if it is legal. This is because the items that are actually at least 95% organic, so certified.
A common myth is that too much movement, the organic food taste better than traditional methods. This means that many people seek organic foods are disappointed for the first time that this additional layer, the taste is not only there. If a person does not even organic food they tried to say is that smacks of cardboard, or some stories simply terrible. When you hear things like it will be less likely to feel alone.
Another common myth is that organic foods contain more vitamins and minerals. Actually you do not know where to start, but these rumors. It was certainly not something that the FDA or the farmers who grow organic products would be difficult for them to say that consumer benefit. The fact that this is not true, but often people do not buy more organic products if they find out the truth.
Many people are not exactly a fan of organic foods because of the fact that it costs more. They think they are buying are already paying too much for its food. Why should they pay more to get what they want? For many families, are difficult to get to have the money to pay for necessities. You can no longer simply spending so organic food is undoubtedly justified, whatever the recruit is going to happen to be.
Nothing is more frustrating than food to rot before eating. With organic food will rot faster than other objects. This is because there are all kinds of preservatives used to it, to keep them better. For those who have no desire to shop often or do not like to waste their food, I'm just not a fan of organic food.
For many people, but simply do not have all the facts about organic food. That is, they continue to eat what they've always been. Their hypothesis is that you get sick from it yet So what's the problem? They assume that organic producers are lots of small amounts of residue on the food we eat, to the left.
But what if you are on the right track? What happens if you eat organic foods can help reduce many common medical problems in our society? Perhaps the solution is not for them to heal with medical science, but by changing the way our food is grown. This is definitely something to think about.

And 'studied and verified that the synthetic chemicals can cause interruptions in hormone production and function. These results are for the growing number of people seeking purity of the search for something to put in their stomachs and on their skin. In June 2009 the European Commission, Communication on Cancer has shown that they have recognized that there are too many environmental factors Such as food chemicals and chemicals in air and water, to be addressed, should be to prevent cancer.

The European Parliament also considers that there are many cases of cancer are directly linked to pesticides. European scientists to support the reduction of human exposure to chemicals are also used by U.S. experts also assisted. Several organizations are working to reduce the amount of chemicals in human food, especially those that may interfere with hormones. Many of these chemicals are used as additives and ingredients in personal care and cosmetic products. As the skin absorbs about 64% of what is put on it, skin care has gained the attention of all.
In France alone last year alone more than 300 lines of new skin care organic were placed on the market even though demand for organic skin care is higher in the UK. Britain, although he does not live of course like many other European countries like Italy and Spain, but it certainly is in the process of recovery. The European cosmetics industry has recently provided a list of substances that were considered unsafe ingredients. Some of these ingredients are still in use in the United States on the basis of cosmetic brands. Regarding the food is concerned, there are many colors and dyes in foods used in the discussion as well, but countries like Norway and Sweden have the use of many common food dyes banned.

USDA says OK to add 38 non-organic Foods Organic Foods to List
Image : http://www.flickr.com
Last Friday, the U.S. Department of Agriculture has approved the proposal to allow 38 non-organic ingredients "USDA organic previously that are permitted in food." Fortunately, there are 60 days in which we as the public may comment on these. Just last month alone, the USDA received over 1,000 complaints, fertilizers, chemical pesticides, antibiotics and growth hormones are used, other than food.
Some producers pushed for this change, becauseThey argue that the 38 points are minor. Other arguments are that these companies claim that these products are difficult to organic form found in her. These elements include 19 food colorings, two starches, hops, sausage casings, fish oil, chipotle chili pepper, gelatin, celery powder, dill oil, frozen lemongrass, Wakame seaweed, bay leaves and turkish protein concentrate of whey . The companies argue that small amounts of these non-organic ingredientsfood is used to 'can do to further "the most organic to create.
People are now arguing that if the label says the product is organic, everything is organic food should be in this. There should be no exception allowing the use of organic farms "for things not in a product labeled organic." This makes sense only. Unfortunately, there are a lot of foods such as cereals, meat, bread, beer, pasta, candy and soup mixes thatbe affected by this rule.
Given that organic sales growth alone has more than doubled over the past 5 years, the USDA does not seem to be heard, the public, but also their wallets instead of. Statistics show that large food companies like General Mills, Kellogg and power are now the choice of foods to use the facilities available to pop mom-and-only. The reason why it has a great meal, and policy makers working to improve, take note of what is probablywith the fact that this is not conventional. In fact, current USDA regulations define "organic" as no chemical fertilizers, sewage sludge, bioengineering or pesticides. It also states that animals must be without antibiotics or growth hormones, and access to free range (outdoors).
For those who really want to eat only organic foods that will cause a huge problem. So if you're worried about this problem, so now is the time to stand, and do something about it. Take a moment to update your e-mail and government officials, have the pressure on the USDA. If you get up, the FDA will take note.

There are obvious health benefits to shopping at your local health food store. It was found that organic foods have a high content of vitamins in them. They reduce our long-term exposure to chemicals and pesticides.
Organic Food Stores do not sell only organic foods, but many also sell locally produced foods. There is great debate about what is best for you. Buying locally grown food helps local farmers and eliminate the transportation costs of shipping food from all over the country. But many organic foods are not grown locally. If you live in the northeast, could be very difficult to buy fruit and vegetables during the winter. But it is very easy to grow organically in California and shipped to the northeast. But the question remains whether ecological food ship from California to the northeast and food resources to send food.
Organic food stores are a step in the right direction. They allow consumers to buy organic food or locally. They give us choices and a wider choice of what is available in our local grocery store. They help to promote the use of chemical free farming. And organic food is healthier for us to purchase. It reduces our exposure to chemicals that our body needs and that allows us to go near the food, as they had grown naturally, rather than chemical.

"Health Food" vs. Healthy Food - How to record labels
Organic food - the healthy alternate
Millions of years of living men and women who put themselves in harmony with nature, plenty of food available for them. Since no other purpose but to survive, they had no idea of manipulating an organism or improving organic food more delicious and tasty recipes. They have learned to find their food by hunting and then agriculture. When people crossed the border in the direction of civilization, was the mass production of a large part of any economy. Research and development focused on creating high-yield varieties (HYVs) and unnatural method for propagation and production of these varieties.
The choice of the human race in the past, now its lessons. However, these lessons are still covered most of the people. Some people have already decided to return to organic farming and consumption of organic food. To protect the interests of consumers, certification bodies of organic food have been established in many countries. Many are also following suit.
With the Internet has changed the world, the Internet now offers online organic food. Consumers can simply select the site, look for organic foods and online process of joining the Order of the organic food line, right at the comforts of home. makes the availability of information through the network is also possible that consumers are saying to check the authenticity of organic food. Organic Certification Authority has a list of certified organic foods, suppliers and manufacturers.
Organic foods contain more vitamins and minerals, is a regular food, harmful chemicals, after application of pesticides and herbicides. A variety of carrot production, for example, is the largest organic carrot. However, it contains nutrients and organic carrots because it was grown on fertile soil with organic fertilizers.
Organic food Organic food online are generally much more expensive than conventional food. One reason is revealed that the government subsidizes agriculture more pervasive inorganic and organic farmers still receive support from the state. Since the production of organic crops requires the use of natural fertilizers and banning harmful chemicals in pesticides and herbicides, labor costs are higher. This means that the control of pests and weeds by hand instead of spraying. The yield is low, even compared to HYVs.
When calculated, but would always prove to be more expensive for Consumers of food inorganic Because people are part of the taxes, Agricultural subsidies, and consumers pay more for their health if they become ill. consumers of organic food are feeding the body with clean items, so you have a clean and healthy body.

Cheap Organic Food
Let's face it. Organic foods are great, but sometimes can make more money than the current budget allows grocers. Before you spend your entire content and organic food to go, you may wonder whether these foods really worth the money and all the hype is. My answer is a resounding yes! Organic foods are foods grown or raised without the use of synthetic (chemical) pesticide formulations, herbicides, fungicides or fertilizers. This method of farming allows foods that grow in nature, as they were intended. Consider that conventional farmers in the United States Spray 2000000000 pounds of pesticides a year to compensate for poor crop cultivation techniques. And you know where to land these pesticides? In our food! In addition to pesticide contamination, conventional produce tends to have fewer nutrients in organic products. On average, conventional produce has only 83 percent of nutrients from organic cultivation. Studies have significantly higher levels of nutrients such as vitamin C, which is iron, magnesium and phosphorus and significantly less nitrates (a toxin) in organic crops. When I discovered that organic food could be the missing link for my weight loss and health efforts, I had just graduated from college and WAS living in a miniature, make a very expensive apartment in New York City, I Hardly . In other words, I was broke with a capital B. Why should I spend money on organic food? Not to mention pay the rent on time? Here, I learned the art of "the search for organic food is":
Before I stopped the purchase of non-food processed. Most protein shakes, "health" bars, and processed foods are actually quite expensive, and if you delete them completely from your shopping list, save hundreds of dollars. Take a good look at the price of sugar cereal, biscuits and sweets packaged and frozen TV dinners. You will see prices increase as rapidly in these foods. The same money could be better used in a week's worth of organic products.
According If I started to eat reasonable portions, the food was not so expensive. If I had to really look at what I eat and what I eat, I had clearly been mistaken for a £ 200 sumo wrestlers. Portion Distortion I had the least expense and eating less is not to say!
Third I tried the local farmer's markets. Prices were much better and I've always fresh foods in season. And frankly, if the price of cherries was the equivalent of diamond earrings, I would choose a different fruit. Go for apples, pears and bananas. Diversity is good, however you choose fruits and vegetables without the price of diamonds.
Fourth I transition my kitchen and my whole house slowly. I probably did not follow a complete organic food up to three years. Not ideal, but as best I could. Rome was not built in a day and neither was my palace organic. You better start with some points and then go from there.
Fifth Buy organic produce "selective". The following foods are shown to have higher pesticide residues, and should therefore always be bought organic products:
Fruit:
Peaches
Apples
Strawberries
Nectarines
Pears
Cherries
Red raspberries
Imported grapes
Vegetables:
Spinach
Peppers
Celery
Potatoes
Hot Peppers
Animal products
* More and animal products (meat, poultry, dairy and watch) than antibiotics or growth hormones added. Swallow meat that have been injected with these harmful substances is equivalent to the same meal hormones and antibiotics. Very dangerous!
The following foods are generally lower levels of pesticides can buy conventional if necessary:
Fruit:
Pineapple
Plantains
Mangos
Bananas
Watermelon
Plums
Kiwi
Blueberries
Papaya
Grapefruit
Avocado
Vegetables:
Cauliflower
Brussels sprouts
Asparagus
Radishes
Broccoli
Onions
Okra
Cabbage
Eggplant
There is no evidence, the material in the vicinity of "Feeling Good" is himself. See where your money and see how to adapt the cheap organic food in your family (even if it is a slow transition). I promise that if it were possible for me, it is feasible for you too!

The breakdown of organic food delivery system
Image : http://www.flickr.com
delivery of organic products is difficult to control. With the delivery of fresh, new problems emerged with farmers and retail outlets. The application for a new order to continue to grow and with it the sales section of local grocery stores are always bigger. Farmers have a hard time in the shops in time and labor shortages in the market for organic products is always both the retail and 'less farmersline.
Bio-food companies are part of the retail market. The number of companies selling organic foods include national chains, shops and internet 'farmers in local markets. With local markets, organic food system delivery structure is not developed yet. The shops on the Internet generally come directly from a farm, so many of them are not experienced as a major influence. But retail stores that are out inthe market will see a drop in sales.
Since we do not use preservatives, the organic food delivery service makes it difficult for production to have time for shopping before a waste product begins. As retailers are forced to make bad and go away, it depends disastrous consequences for farmers on sales.
The market system is the responsibility of such food for retail is in danger of violating that revenues willGenerated from this food specialties. The computing market close $ 27000000000 in the United States alone, and demand for the market rises by this number will be higher. Until the problems of farmers, with a constant supply of food available and the lack of certified inspectors are determined to be the revenue generated will be negatively affected in one way.
His extradition system can be made improvements. With demand for retailEnsure that farmers' markets are, with difficulty, their supply. The revenue it generates is growing dramatically. Its distribution system must provide some kind of consistency that have made the supply of farms able to keep pace with the demand that consumers want. If this offer is no problem caused the organic food market grow and generate more income for farmers and retail markets.
