Why I choose organic food whenever possible
I keep seeing news stories comparing the taste and nutrition values of organic vs. non-organic foods. I feel like people are completely missing the point.
Our environment is becoming more and more saturated in chemicals made by companies that want to keep making profit off their sale. Why should we have to prove that organic farming is healthier? Why don’t we err on the side of caution and reduce or eliminate the use of these chemicals? What’s the worst that can happen from choosing organic foods? I may spend a little extra money, but I know that the people that produce the food aren’t exposed to toxic chemicals and I know that the wildlife near those farms isn’t being adversely affected either. I would hate to eat non-organic and find out that a chemical used to grow it was responsible for killing our bees, or causing disease in people and animals.
People need to change their way of thinking about food. Its about the planet and all its inhabitants.
Hey babe,
I just came back from Tuscany, where my aunt has a farm: we have a huge problem with bees here and they are producing less honey. There is this pesticide that they use in the fields, illegal in France and Germany but NOT in Italy (as usual we are the last and least in the Union), that makes bees losing their sense of orientation… Very sad!
OT: I love the new layout!
Smooooch
