Organic Food History and Current Trends
2008-05-10 13:54:00 Farming practices used before the 1900's are classed as organic. It was only after this that added chemicals such as urea and DDT were brought into farming - previous to this, farmers didn't have the knowledge and simply put, were happy enough with things as they were; as most of us today would be. After all, home grown food is often the nicest, most tasty food we put on our plates.For some reason, during the 1960's and 1970's the concept of organic food became a separate entity to the 'normal' food we were then buying. Consumers had been effectively duped into believing that what they were buying, was food as nature intended, it not appreciating that the chemicals which were added during growth of the 'normal stuff' were what actually made the food abnormal in the first place.Rachel Carson, a prominent writer, biologist and ecologist established public awareness of these issues via 'Silent Spring', a book she wrote which basically brought about major controversy on the us...

The Advantage Of Organic Food
2008-04-03 16:14:00 With more and more attention being given to the effect diet can have on our bodies, it is inevitable that the question should arise as to whether or not there is a particular advantage of organic food. Organic food enthusiasts will report – without hesitation – of their increased energy and overall health and vitality. As we explore the correlation between our diets and our longevity and health, it stands to reason that we must also explore the possible advantage of organic food.The definition of organic food lies in the manner in which the food is grown and processed. Organic food is that food which is not exposed to chemicals of any kind during its growing, manufacturing, processing, or packaging. Organic fruits and vegetables are grown without the use of pesticides and are preservative-free on every level. Organic farming has emerged as one of the industries of the future as more and more people are demanding the most natural and nutritious choices for their families.In the c...

Grow your own Organic Food
2008-03-01 08:03:00 With the price of food going up, and all the chemicals and preservatives that are being put onto crops, more and more people are justifiably cautious about what they eat, and as a consequence of this are increasingly turning to organic produce for its numerous health benefits. The problem with organic food is that it is considerably more expensive than the alternative, so for anyone who wants to feed the best quality food to their family, the bill for groceries is going to be a lot higher than those who don’t. The only alternative for people is to grow their own food, and this needn’t be as hard or time consuming as you might think. The fact is, that if you have a garden, you can start to grow at least some parts of your food yourself, and enjoy the benefits of knowing where it came from, what was used in producing it, and of course, save a great deal of money on it all. The first stage in growing your own food is to select an area of your garden that you will give over to food....
Is Organic Food Really Worth It?
2008-02-29 15:37:00 After having several lengthy discussions with friends online and off, it's debatable whether organic food is really worth it. It can all depend on your reasons for wanting to go organic. Do your reasons concern ethical issues, environmental, for taste reasons or even just for social reasons?After a long debate we came to this reasoning.The Pros• Ethical Reasons - Going organic can mean the animals (involved in producing that succulent piece of meat you see on your plate) will be treated in the most respectable way possible and that their life will be extinguished in the most painless and humane way.• Environmental Reasons - Less chemicals are used and substances that are less harmful to the environment.• Social Reasons - Like it or not, when you're in the supermarket people look more fondly upon others seen picking up free range eggs from the shelf rather than the supermarkets own, cheaper brand. Whether you let this affect you or if you have reasons against organic, such as...

Benefits of eating organic food
2007-10-03 08:31:00 With people becoming more health conscious in recent years we are seeing a dramatic increase in the availability of organic foods. It's apparent there is increasing demand for these products as wider selections and more shelf space is being taken up in mainstream grocery stores for organics. In addition the number of health food stores continues to increase. Does it really make a difference to eat organic food? I believe so and will explain the reasons why. The main reason is organic food is totally free of pesticides, harmful additives, hormones and antibiotics.I It also avoids the use of artificial flavors and additives. Additives can affect the taste, color and aroma of foods. Animals are routinely fed antibiotics and hormones and this in turn ends up in the meat and on our dinner table. The rationale behind this is that it speeds up animal growth. While this may be true, with people becoming more antibiotic resistant do we really need to have it end up in in our food? Pesticide...
