We Eat Organic

Jessica M asked:


I am doing a speech on the benefits of eating organic and looking for credible web sources that explain the benefits of eating organic. I am covering the benefits to the environment, health, and animals (better quality of life). Does anyone know good websites?
Thanks!

I’ve been thinking of switching to eating organic because everyone says how healthy it is. But really, what’s so healthy about it? When you look at the back of labels of a lot of organic food, there’s so much fat, sugar, and sodium… which is NOT healthy.

So what is it? What’s so healthy or great about organic foods?

My husband and I are trying to switch to an organic diet as well as trying to stay away from high glycemic index foods. Does anyone know of a good book that contains unbiased information on both of these topics?

Has anyone else noticed?

I can’t order a salad with fat-free dressing without my friends sitting there, trying to tell me I shouldn’t be dieting. Maybe I don’t want to order the hamburger with french fries that isn’t good for my body, has probably 1000+ calories, and has almost no nutritional value.

The organic food aisles in grocery stores are almost always empty, while you are in TRAFFIC-like situations in the bulk food section.

The only healthy meal items are always named “fat free”, “low calorie”, and “low carb.”

Are there any other things you’ve noticed?
What is your opinion on this topic?

I’m into organic and natural foods and products but would like more than they have at my local grocery stores and there aren’t many whole food or natural stores nearby. (products: seventh generation, diapers, body products, cleaners, clothing, food)

I come from a family of 6 and i’m the oldest of 4 siblings at age 16. We’ve always eaten healthy for as long as i can remember, VERY limited fast food….like 4 times per year. We’ve never been big on fats/oils (unless it’s olive oil) and we eat veggies and what-not with every meal. It’s always homecooked and no one in the family is even close to obese. Well, my mom read “Fast Food Nation” and is purely convinved that if we dont organic/vegan, we’re all going to die early and horrible deaths. She scared ym 8-yr-old brother into being a vegan and he hasn’t eaten meat since early Nov. So now we stock up on MorningStar…no more meat unless dad BBQ’s. Everything is organic and tofu…my mom figured if my bro is vegan, we all should be. Is it really so much better this way, that we’re only eating organic/vegan? Based on what i’ve described, is there anything wrong with the way we were eating at first? Thanks so much!

I have read up on organic and know it is really really healthy considering there are no chemicals used on the food. My parents are not all for it. Any suggestions?
