Are you on the organic bandwagon?

The organic label has established itself in super markets all over the country. The question we need to ask ourselves is; “Is organic food really better for you?” The truth is, organic has nothing to do with the nutrient value of a product. The term organic refers to the way farmers grow and process their products. Organic farms apply natural fertilizers instead of chemical fertilizers. Research has shown that when comparing the nutrient value of organic vs. non-organic there is no significant change.

 However, organic has been shown to benefit the environment by reducing pollution as well as conserving water and soil quality.  By choosing organic you are helping your local farm as well as improving the environment. However, its important to remember that organic does not mean its more healthy.
