Why
you should only eat organic.
Those who are assaulting us with terminology designed
to deceive are now trying to muscle in the term 'natural', all to mislead
the public of course.
But even junk foods can be labeled organic. And
they are organic. But even if they are organic, they still can be
highly processed - sugar, white flour, potato chips, corn chips, donuts,
waffles, sugar-added cereals, pizza, and frozen dinners, eat them only
sparingly and only when your health is optimum. Try as much as possible
to stick to whole foods and fresh produce.
The regulations for Certified Organic are incredibly
strict for growing, harvesting, land use and management, audit tracking,
etc., for organic produce coming from organic farms to grocery stores.
All foods considered organic must be free of GMOs (Genetically Modified
Organisms). Not so with foods labeled 'natural'.
Generally anyone going into organic farming doesn't
do it for just money, as quicker and more money can be made with far less
meticulousness-by
growing conventional (non organic) fertilized, sprayed, enhanced, flavored,
colored, genetically modified, irradiated (exposed to radiation),
artificially flavored 'doctored' 'food', which is preserved, colored, enhanced,
etc., with a selection of chemicals from the plethora
available.
Organic farming can feed
the world.."Study
after study shows that organic techniques can provide much more food per
acre in developing countries than conventional chemical based agriculture..."....the
article.
"It's a myth that organic
farming is inefficient, claims Rod MacRae a food production expert formerly
with the Toronto Public Health Department. He calculates that on average,
yields are only 10% less than conventional agriculture. That result is
remarkable since there is virtually no government funded research or support
in Canada or the U.S.A for improving organic farming methods, unlike the
tens of billions spent on conventional and biotech farming."....Sustainable
Times Magazine, Summer 2000. (Why? Why? Why?) Whose in bed with the
fed? And why do governments fall fast only in the wrong direction? - away
from that which benefits the men and women, and isn't this most always)
Why is it the government skirts funding for organic
farming, while pouring oodles of
dollars extracted from the men and women of the nation into inferior alternatives?
Like, what's going on here behind the scenes that they are keeping secret
from us?
New scientific reasons to
only eat organic foods; the term 'natural' does not in any way mean
organic; avoid foods that con you with the label 'natural' - only certified
organic can be trusted. There are health dangers of Confined Animal Feeding
Operations.
And, if you're in the U.S.A. and are for organic
foods, this is the time to let the government know at the National Organic
Program

Before organics, biodynamics; interesting! http://www.biodynamics.com/bda.html Organic watermelon?."If
you research carefully, you will learn that, technically, there cannot
be such a thing as a certified organic seedless watermelon. Why? A certified
organic seedless watermelon is a genetically altered watermelon. The genetic
alteration is done chemically.
"To create a seedless watermelon,
seed producers treat natural watermelon seed with Colchicines, a chromosome-altering
chemical. Colchicines changes the chromosome number in the seeds from 2
to 4. Once this is done, the seeds are pollinated with the natural 2 chromosome
watermelon. The result is an un-natural, genetically modified watermelon
with 3 chromosomes.
"Continue your research and
you will learn, as I did, that plants must have an even number of chromosomes
to reproduce. Since the un-natural, genetically modified watermelon now
has 3 chromosomes, it cannot form seeds. You get a seedless melon.
"A watermelon that is touted
as certified organic seedless watermelon may be grown organically, but
chemicals were used in the production of the seeds. You will have to decide
your own definition of "organic" to decide whether or not you want the
melon."
"If you decide that certified
organic seedless watermelon is not organic enough for your tastes, you
might want to grow a container or row of your own organic watermelon. An
easy, delicious melon to grow on your patio is sugar baby – and yes, organic
seed companies such as Main
Street Seed and Supply have certified organic seeds for this watermelon.
It produces round watermelons, about 7" to 8.5" and weighing 8 to 12 pounds.
The name tells you what to expect. It's probably worth the seeds!"....Anna
