Hi everybody,
What is organic food? And how it differ from normal foods, does organic food taste better? How does it work for any kind of disease?
Thanks!

The main advantage of organic is that there are no, or very limited amount, chemicals involved in growing process. Man made pesticides and fertilizers are not used. Most of the time the nutritional value is the same, just less danger from chemicals.

actually, organic farms usually treat the land better too, giving the soil time to 'rest' every few years.
this results in higher vitamin and mineral amounts in fruits and vegetables, often with more flavor.

Hi,
Organic food production is based on a system of farming that maintains and replenishes the fertility of the soil. Organic foods are produced without the use of synthetic pesticides and fertilizers. Organic foods are minimally processed to maintain the integrity of the food without artificial ingredients, preservatives or irradiation.

Organic food is really taste better than other food. Natural and organic food not only tastes better than mainstream supermarket fare. It can also serve as a "supplement" to your health insurance policy, protecting you from developing heart and lung disease, Alzheimer's disease, a weakened immune system and inflammatory diseases like arthritis.

You can not beat the taste of organic or naturally raised foods. Currently, I raise my own chicken, eggs, turkey, vegetables, and strawberries. I will be adding pork also this spring. It takes more work to keep soil "healthy" and not just adding chemicals. Once you get used to fresh foods you will be disappointed in what you buy at local grocery store!

Yes, it's really quite lovely in general. And priced accordingly. Depending on where you're at, it can be very expensive. Organic meat in particular, where I purchase it, will often be a minimum of 3 to 4 times more expensive than what I might pay at say Costco or Safeway. Hopefully you can get it from a farmer, or one of their markets, and make significant savings. I don't have the luxury of doing so myself.

I'm not trying to discourage you, by any means, I'm just saying. I wholly recommend it.

Oh, and the meat may taste funny to you at first, in the way that whole grain bread tastes odd/bad when you're used to eating white. Once you refine your palette a little, it is worth killing for. Your wallet, that is.

I ONLY eat organic meat, veg and dairy products.

The benefits outweight any additional cost. They are many times higher in nutrients, taste better and contain less chemicals. Its pretty common sense to only eat animals in the best health possible. The a dismal condition of "non organic" animals is disgraceful. We have all seen documentaries about battery chickens....

Australia is pretty health concious, so its easy to get organic food for fairly cheap. As people show corporations that we demand healthier food, they will slowly follow suit with cheaper and cheaper organic food.

Oh, and unpasturised, unhomogenized milk is the ultimate training food. Period.

99.9999999% of organic food is pure garbage and a waste of money. Craft's Mac & Cheese with Organic Cheese.... please... what a waste of money and I feel sorry for the person buying that thing thinking it is healthy.

Basically, organic means that it is grown naturally without aid from chemicals. The cost of the product increases because more labor is needed to grow the product.

When you buy veggies or fruits or meat, try to buy local grown ones. They're the best, and probably the cheapest. Most of the time, they're grown naturally and they're fresh (i.e. not frozen, then sent via trucks to the store) within the past week.
