Organic foods- what is your take?

Organic food stores are a great source to get ingredients that are gluten-free, chemical-free, or another other growth hormone-food-altering substance used. Great food quality but it comes with a higher price tag.

Have you ever wondered why there are so many cancers and allergies these days compared previously?
Say our parents and past generations? Have you ever wondered what we consume on a day to day basis, might be the catalyst of all these allergies, illness and diseases that come about? Especially cancer and other deficiency-types illnesses.

Even for those of us who generally live a healthy lifestyle by doing regular exercise and eating lots of fresh vegetables and fruit along with drinking lots of water we are still poisoning our bodies. This is because th fresh fruit and vegetables we buy from the grocer have been sprayed with toxic pesticides and chemicals and our water contains contaminants. Plus all the the processed foods that we eat, who knows what is really in them.

Because of lower scale of economies to produce that quality food, we the consumers usually settle for regular supermarket produce. But how nutritious is the produce at the supermarket? How much chemicals is sprayed to make that great red tomatoes look so fresh, blemish-free and plum? Of course there is a reason for these products being the way that they are and that is because we can buy out of season fruits, vegetables and meat produces and the shops can sell them at cheaper prices.
We can keep other products on the shelf for much longer periods. In all it is more convenient.
But at what price? Whilst we may be saving some money we are not saving on any health benefits. We maybe getting sicker, accumulating all that toxic pesticides and oxidants.

The best solution is to grow your own vegetables. Not only will you be preventing pesticides and chemicals from entering your system but you will find that you will be eating fruit and vegetables that are higher in vitamins and minerals.

But ff course, for most of us, land, time and resources are limited and growing our own vegetables, hence is not a feasible solution.

It is no wonder that organic foods are gaining popularity. But as food prices goes up, its is often a choice the more affluent make, or is it?
