What's the Deal with Organic Foods? Part 2

Nutrition by Natalie

What is the difference between organic food and conventional food? Is organic really more healthy for you?

The USDA lays out certain guidelines that farms have to follow in order to be able to claim the food is organic. In this video Natalie discusses what each of those guidelines are.

What is surprising to learn is some of the growing practices of conventional farming and food processing. As an example, chemical plants and waste water treatment facilities will actually sell their toxic waist to conventional farms to use for fertilizer.

What you eat is an important part of health and nutrition.

Also, if organic food is the answer. But you have to watch out. Some try to pass their crops off as organic to get the better price. Plus the big Argo corps. have been lobbying congress to lower the standard of what can be called "Organic". So they can label their shit food organic and make more money.

Out of all the technology made for growing crops for the people, have ALL been to the benefit of the business side. Despite all the poisons and toxins big Argo uses , in matter of fact, Congress have gave them their blessing to put that crap in our food. God forbid if corporations dont make maximum profits off the sheeple. Almost none , or very little technology has been made to grow better & more healthy crops & veggie's and make them more nutritious ! That is the state of the USA food business

@pplebuddy81 - If you do not solely eat whole foods, you eat via additives GMO in processed food or convenience food in your favourite restaurant.

I don't think organic farmers don't use ANY pesticides or fertilizers, they use organic types in place of of synthetic or toxic materials.  I use organic fertilizer in my vegetable garden.

Stevia is banned in other countries but I'm sure you quacks recommend that despite the long term research.

Who gives a fuck about about natural. The natural argument is completely fallacious
