Regardless of what food it is, it should be a standard that the food product is safe without any harmful ingredients. In 1994, GMO tomatoes hit the shelves. Two years later in 1996, GMO-Resistant weeds were discovered. These super weeds were resistant to glyphosate which is made to kill them. After discovering this news, Europe made it mediatory for GMO crops to be labeled. Yet in 1999, GMO Crops dominated over 100 million acres worldwide. The marketplace began embracing GMO technology at fast rate despite the lack of testing and the super weeds. Today, America is waking up to what is being done to their foods and it’s changing. Organically grown food eliminates the risk of pesticides, chemicals, and hormones from being consumed resulting in better health and a stronger immune system.
Food should not be grow with chemicals nor should their DNA be modified. Food is meant to be grown organically without pesticide use. Eating organically grown food avoids the chemicals and pesticides present in commercially grown food. More than 600 active chemicals are registered for agricultural use in America, rounding up over billions of pounds annually. The average application equates to about 16 pounds of chemical pesticides per person every year. Many of these chemicals were approved by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) before further diet testing. The National Academy of Sciences reports that 90% of the chemicals applied to foods have not been tested for long-term health effects before being confirmed “safe.” The FDA tests only 1% of foods for pesticide residue. The most dangerous and toxic pesticides require special testing methods, which are rarely if ever employed by the FDA.

We would prefer that any dairy and meat products are organic without added hormones, antibiotics and drugs. Animal products in conventional meat and dairy are highest risk foods for contamination by harmful substances. More than 90% of the pesticides Americans consume are found in the fat and tissue of meat and dairy products. Antibiotics, drugs, and growth hormones are also directly passed into meat and dairy products. Tens of millions of pounds of antibiotics are used in animal feed every year. The union of concerned scientists estimates that roughly 70% of antibiotics produced in the United States are fed to animals for non-therapeutic purposes.

Food is meant to be grown naturally without modifications. Growing food without pesticide use contributes to a greener and safer environment. Organically grown foods have more nutrients—vitamins, minerals, enzymes, and micronutrients—than commercially grown foods because the soil is nourished and managed with sustainable practices by responsible standards. The Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine conducted a review of 41 published studies comparing the nutritional value of organically grown and conventionally grown fruits, vegetables, and grains and concluded that there are significantly more of several nutrients in organic foods crops. The study verifies that five servings of organically grown vegetables provides an adequate allowance of vitamin C, whereas the same number of servings of conventionally grown vegetables do not. On average, organically grown foods provide: 21.1% more iron (than their conventional counterparts); 27% more vitamin C; 29.3% more magnesium; 13.6% more phosphorus. People who consumed GMO food contained lots of pesticides in their bodies while those on organic diets didn’t. Yes, some organic food is more expensive, but not by much and I will much much rather pay the farmer than the doctor.
All in all, the food supply of a nation should make the people healthier, not put them at risk for sickness. Adding chemicals and pesticides to the food and air supply puts our healths’ at risk along with our environments. Regardless of diet, organic food is a must. Opting for organic foods is an effective choice for personal and planetary health. Buying organically grown food free of harmful chemicals, bursting with more nutrition, taste, and sustainable sustenance—is a direct vote for immediate health while supporting organic farmers. Food should be organically grown like nature intended it to be.
A non-organic family switches to an all organic diet to test pesticide levels and you’ll be shocked at the results. Watch this video, “ The Organic Effect” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oB6fUqmyKC8
