Eating organic food, part of a healthy lifestyle


Organic food is; food grown and processed without the use of genetic engineering, any sort of synthetic or artificial fertilizer, in other words real fertilizer. It is grown without use of all of the 'cides, referring to pesticide, herbicide, and fungicide. It cannot be grown or processed with antibiotics, preservatives, chemicals or use of radiation. Actually it sounds pretty good, and its sort of scary thinking of food being irradiated and eaten!
Most of the food produced for consumers has been altered from a natural state through fertilization and genetics, in order to grow food faster and in larger amounts. These growing methods directly affect all of us as we consume these products. Organic products are becoming popular because as people educate themselves they realize the value of quality, naturally grown foods and products.
