What Is Organic Food?

A lot of people think that organic food must be more healthy for you, but don’t really understand what organic good really is or what it means for food to be labeled “organic.” We explain what organic food is and why it may not be the healthiest food for you just because it’s labeled as organic.

QUESTION: What food do you think is worth buying as organic what what foods aren’t?

  1. What other kind of food is there, mechanical food? All food is organic. Pesticides and fertilizers do not change the nature of food. Even if the seed that was used to grow the food had been genetically modified, it is still by nature, organic. The word "organic" has been re-defined by marketing "geniuses" to make people think it means something other than what it truly means. It is what the marketers term a "buzzword". They rely on the proven and obvious ignorance of the common consumer to sell them something for more than it is worth.

  2. The one bad thing I know that is not prohibited in organic products is fluoride. Oh, and also manure that is used to fertilize certified organic crops does not have to come from cows not given drugs and not fed non-organic feed. Poultry litter is the same; it can come from conventionally-raised birds given ARSENIC. Somebody needs to have a talk with the NOSB about this. I have seen many “organic and natural” bags of OMRI-listed soil that has this stuff in it. I understand that the meat of these animals may be “GRAS” or whatever because of the relatively low amount of bad stuff in it because 85 percent comes out in their poop… BUT IF FREAKING 85 PERCENT COMES OUT IN THEIR POOP, THEN SHOULD VEGETABLES FERTILIZED WITH THIS CR*P BE “GENERALLY RECOGNIZED AS SAFE”?!!!?

  3. It is amusing that the pesticides conventional farmers use are organic molecules that degrade fairly quickly, but many pesticides used by organic farmers (iron sulfate, copper sulfate, manganese sulfate) are inorganic molecules and could be in the environment for years. (But don’t worry, they won’t harm you. Unlike organic fanatics, I’ll be honest about the real risks involved.) I believe that organic crop production rules also allow the use of nicotine-insecticides, which are organic molecules. That's like forcing cute innocent insects to smoke
    cigarettes.

  4. You screwed up the part about the fertilizer. Organic produce is raised using animal waste as fertilizer and is often the source of food borne illnesses. Non-Organic produce uses chemical based fertilizers such as Potash, Urea, Phosphate just to name a few.

  5. Even if the processed organic foods you buy aren’t actually nutritionally valuable (because organic junk food is still junk food), by buying organic you are helping PROTECT large amounts of LAND by keeping the earth and surrounding water systems free of chemicals. So yes, BUY THE ORGANIC MAC AND CHEESE. It's still better than the regular!

    ALSO, organic produce has been shown to have vastly HIGHER LEVELS OF NUTRIENTS. This article explains why and links to some studies:

  6. All of them. They all matter. So many foods are getting sprayed with toxic chemicals including Glyphosate as a drying agent, that really everyone should only be eating organic.

  7. I dont know about the American organic industry but european and especially Ireland have strict laws to abide by especially in the dairy sector where all grazing platforms are natural and no chemichal fertilizers are used. All cows are given anti-biotics only in emergencys and not for simple sicknesses
