Organic Food Means Better Health by Ibraham Adams

The word organic stamped on meats and produce usually mean it is grown to healthier standards. The produce is grown without chemicals, no pesticides or insecticides. The livestock is given healthier food to eat, thereby producing healthier food. But is it really healthier? How can you be sure you are getting the best there is?

Do you have to continue going to the small, family owned farm or store to purchase the healthiest foods or should you perhaps raise your own. If you do your own gardening you can be aware of what you apply to the plants, how the plants are grown. Do you have the room for livestock and the time it takes to care for them? This is not an option for most people.

The government has federal regulations and there are third party inspectors that provide standards for all labeled food items. The produce or meat that is labeled "organic" has undergone testing before it can be labeled. The sellers have provided documentation on their farming practices. This is the best way to be sure of receiving certified organic food.

But is organic food really the best food for you? There is no conclusive evidence that organic food is healthier than food that has been conventionally grown. In taste tests food has been proven to have a better taste and firmness when it has been organically grown. But due to the lack of preservatives it also spoils quicker. With this in mind you can be sure of buying fresher produce in the store since it will also not have a long shelf life.
