Organic: Ten Reasons Why

  1. Organic food tastes great - A growing number of top chefs prefer organic food because it tastes the way food is supposed to taste - delicious by nature.
  2. Organic food is healthier - On average, organic food contains higher levels of vitamin C and minerals like calcium and iron, as well as cancer-fighting antioxidants.
  3. It's just not smart to put pesticides in your mouth - Hundreds of toxic chemicals are used to kill pests during non-organic farming. Residues are unavoidable and often end up in the consumers' bodies. Organic farming eliminates the use of these nasty pesticides.
  4. Organics protect our water - By choosing organic, you help organic farmers protect our drinking water from the dangers of polluting chemicals.
  5. Organics protect our soil - Over 3 billion tons of topsoil erode from crop lands every year! Organic farming helps prevent erosion by maintaining a healthy balance of microorganisms within the soil.
  6. Biodiversity is key to our life! - A diverse web of life-forms assures environmental resilience. Organic methods encourage a balance of crops, soil organisms, insects, and seeds.
  7. You won't get genetically engineered - Manipulating the genes of our food supply raises questions not yet answered. Organic food simply does not allow any genetically engineered ingredients.
  8. No hidden costs - Consider the hidden costs of non-organic farming: cleaning our water supplies, demanding ever-increasing fertilizer for depleted soils, exposing farmers and consumers to dangerous toxins. Taxpayer subsidies disguise the true costs of non-organic farming.
  9. Organic abundance - It's happening every day: more organic products are more widely available. Customer-support of this trend is impacting major industries, as organics are emerging with food and drink, clothing, body-care products, and the list goes on…
  10. Organics are part of a healthier worldview - As more people seek and achieve lifestyles of health and sustainability, an important link is made clear: a healthy economy and a healthy ecology. Choosing organic is supporting a healthier future for us all.
