What is organic food?

What is Organic?

The word �Organic' means �living', and in practical terms, this means natural food that is grown and processed without chemical fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides or fungicides. Nothing unnatural is allowed so there are no growth hormones, antibiotics, preservatives, dyes, chemical coatings or irradiation allowed. There is no genetic engineering allowed in organic foods.

Organic food is nothing more than pure nutritional food - the way it used to be.

There is a wealth of information available about the dangers of pesticides both to ourselves and to our environment.  The hazards for human health include increased risk of cancer, reproductive problems and neurological damage.

Toxic overload

The food we eat affects our health. Most conventionally produced food comes from production systems that rely on a cocktail of up to 350 different chemicals. The World Health Organisation has classified many of these substances as hazardous to our health. In studies, the short and long term effects on our health from these toxic chemicals ranges from short term conditions such as ADS (Attention Deficit Syndrome), allergies, digestion and reproductive disorders to long term illnesses such as cancers and degenerative diseases like Alzheimers.

Organic food however is different because by definition it is pure, wholesome and nutritious.

There are absolutely no toxins or otherwise artificial or synthetic chemicals, coatings or treatments that in any way affect quality of organic food.

You are what you eat.

If you eat toxic food you will be a toxic person
