Organic Food
If you've heard the term "organic" a million times but still aren't sure what it means, here's the deal: Organic farming avoids the use of most artificial inputs, like synthetic pesticides and fertilizers, and bans the use of animal by-products, antibiotics and sewage sludge. But check for tricky labeling: "100% organic" actually means that all the individual ingredients are organic. "Organic" means that at least 95% of the ingredients are organic. "Made with organic ingredients" means that at least 70% of the ingredients are organic.
Why should I buy organic food?
Organic food can be better for your family, the planet and your tastebuds. No one can claim that organic food is "safer or more nutritious" than conventional food, but people like the reassurance that their food never was treated by pesticides.
Finally, anecdotal evidence that organic food tastes better has been confirmed by research: A Washington State University study found that organic apples were sweeter and had better texture and firmness than their conventionally grown counterparts.
