WHY ORGANIC ?
Organic food is
food which has been grown and produced without the use of additives. chemical
fertilisers, insecticides, fungicides and herbicides. Eating organic food is one
of the most important contributions you can make to saving your health and
saving the planet. All the studies show that milk, tomatoes, potatoes, carrots
and lettuce have the highest concentrations of pesticide residues. So avoid the
milk and at least buy organic lettuce, carrots, tomatoes and potatoes or grow
your own. Buying organic food is the best way to encourage farmers to grow more
organic food and stop the spread of poisons in the land, water supply and our
food; it will also help the destruction of wildlife.
Organic food has
also been shown to carry more nutrition, 4 to 12 times higher than non-organic.
Organic produce is assimilated easier by the digestive system too
.
Basically the lower down the food chain the healthier the food. Plants have a higher vibration than animals and the fresher the plant the better. Always attempt to buy fresh, organic fruit and vegetables, even better still grow your own and enjoy the benefit of fresh air and exercise.

"The person who is afraid to alter his living habits, and especially his eating and drinking habits, because he is afraid that other persons may regard him as queer, eccentric or fanatic forgets that the ownership of his body and the responsibility for its well-being, belongs to him, not them."
Dr.Paul Brunton
