Why Should I Eat Organic Food?

My children will hardly touch conventional celery but they love organic celery. I notice a big difference in organic apples, peaches and carrots too. What accounts for the taste difference? Conventional farmers often use crops that are genetically modified to look good and last longer on store shelves, but they lose flavor in the process. 

Organic food contains more nutrients.  Tests have shown organic products to have significantly more substances that promote health.  Eating lots of organic fruits and vegetables gives you more nutrition. Get more nutritional bang for your bite and your buck!

Organic fruits and vegetables are not grown using harmful chemicals and pesticides.  The obvious benefit of this is that your body is exposed to fewer chemicals.  This not only helps protects your health from currently known and yet undiscovered health problems, it also helps protect the environment.  When harmful pollutants are put into the soil, they upset the ecosystem and can even work their way into your drinking water.

Organic food supports farming practices that show respect for the land we live and rely upon as well as the animals we share our planet with and use for food.
