Organics

Halo, Everyone! Today, I asked my mom what I should write about, and she suggested to write about how eating Organic is better than not. So, I compiled some reasons that I think are valuable to know, and hopefully, this encourages you to eat more organics.

1. Avoiding GMOs and Artificial chemicals
       Although GMOs are a rather new thing, artificial chemicals have been used in processed and non-organic food for over forty years. Because GMOs are have only been around for twenty-six years, we don't know the long term effects of them. That in itself is extremely scary. What we do know as of right now is that some people are very allergic to GMOs and get really bad stomach aches from eating them. Artificial chemicals are just straight up not good for you. I can't put it any other way. Chemicals made in a factory that are put into our food. Yikes.

2. Supports the Environment and Agriculture
       It's better for agriculture! Agriculture is very important for our economy, and by supporting organics you support small farmers and local businesses rather than huge corporate factory companies. Organic meat (most of it) is grass-fed. That is better for the environment as well, because then that livestock is not eating factory-made food. It is also better for the environment because organic plants are not modified with chemicals, so there are no chemicals going into the earth.

3. It is Better for Your Body in General
       No, Organic does not always mean healthier. Organic junk food does exist. But, if you go out of your way to not eat junk food, then it is really good for you. This is because organic food is cleaner than other food. Clean food is food that has fewer ingredients, no chemicals, and all-natural things. There are more vitamins and minerals in clean food.
       Well... there ya go. I hope you enjoyed this post about organics, and I will see you on Tuesday.
