Why Choose Organic
Organic is a buzz word of our time. Meaning to use only fertilizers and pesticides of animal or plant origin, everything organic is becoming very popular. According to the Food Marketing Institute, more than half of Americans now buy organic food once a month. What are the reasons for the rise in popularity of organic products? The primary reason people choose organic products is health reasons. Doctors recommend that we eat a diet full of colorful fruits and vegetables. With the known health risks of conventional pesticides and fertilizers, it makes sense to only want to put more simple and natural foods into your body. If pesticides are used to KILL the insects that try to eat the produce, then why would they not be harmful to people? So logically it would be healthier to eat organic fruits and vegetables that are free of chemicals.
Another reason people are choosing organic products is that they have less of an impact on the environment. First, because they are grown withouth harmful pesticides and fertilizers, the risk to ground water is gone. Also, organic farmers try to keep their products localized to their specific region, reducing the amount of fossil fuels burned in the transportation of the products. With all of the research on global warming, it makes sense to buy organic products thus reducing your impact on the environment.
