WHY BUY ORGANIC?
 

1. Protect Future Generations
 

The average child receives 4 times more exposure than an adult to at least 8 widely used cancer-causing pesticides in food.

We are connected to the earth and the earth is connected to us. If we harm the earth and throw whatever it may harm it, it is just a matter of time that we  are going to see that manifested in us. WE HARM THE EARTH, WE HARM OURSELVES, OUR CHILDREN AND EVERY HUMAN BEING.

2. Prevent Soil Erosion 

Soil is eroding 7 times faster than it is being built up naturally in croplands. Organic farming regards rich, healthy soil as the foundation of the food chain, not just a medium for holding plants in a vertical position so they can be chemically fertilized.

ONCE OUR SOIL IS ERODED IT WILL BE VERY DIFFICULT TO PRODUCE FOOD, BY ERODING THE SOIL WE REDUCE THE POSSIBILITY OF THE EARTH BEING ABLE TO PROVIDE FOR US.

3. Protect Water Quality

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) estimates pesticides contaminate the groundwater in 38 states, polluting the primary source of drinking water for more than half the population.

 

WE, HUMAN BEINGS ARE MOSTLY WATER, WITHOUT WATER WE DIE, IT IS A HIGH PRIORITY TO CARE AND PROTECT OUR WATER SOURCES, WE CANNOT LIVE OR THRIVE ON CHEMICALLY CONTAMINATED WATER.

4. Save Energy

 Modern farming uses more petroleum than any other single industry, and more energy is used to produce synthetic fertilizers than to cultivate and harvest crops. Organic farming relies on more labor-intensive practices and using green manures and crop covers to build up soil.

EARTH AND LIFE IS SELF SUSTAINING, IF WE ALLOW ALL THE NATURAL PROCESSES TO OCCUR AND IF WE SUPPORT THEM, WE CAN LIVE FOR AND FROM THEM AT THE SAME TIME WE ARE NOURISHING US AND THE EARTH. WE ARE AN INHERENT PART OF THE EARTH.

5. Keep Chemicals Off your plate

Pesticides are neuro-toxins and they act as so in our bodies as well and in the bodies of insects. Many of this were approved before research linked them to cancer and other diseases. A 1987 National Academy of Sciences report estimated that pesticides might cause an extra 1,4 million cancer cases among Americans.

WE LIVE TROUBLED TIMES WHERE WE ARE MOSTLY SICK BECAUSE WE ARE LIVING FROM A SICK EARTH, UNLESS WE CHANGE THE WAY WE HAVE BEEN CREATING SICKNESS WE CANNOT CREATE BALANCE OR LIVE. CANCER IS A REFLECTION OF THE EARTHS HEALTH LEVEL.

6. Protect Farm Workers

A Natural cancer Institute study found that farmers exposed to herbicides had a six times greater risk

than non farmers of contracting cancer. In California, reported pesticides poisonings among farm workers have risen an average of 14% a year since 1973 and doubled between 1975 and 1985.

WE ARE ALL CONNECTED, WE HELP THE WE GET HELP. SUPPORTING ANY OTHER HUMAN BEING CREATES SUPPORT, WE ARE ALL CONNECTED AND  EVERY INDIVIDUAL ACTION IMPACTS OTHER HUMAN BEINGS, EARTH AND EVERY SENTIENT LIVING ON THIS PLANET. WE HELP, WE HELP OURSELVES.

7. Help Small Farmers

Most organic farms are small, independently owned family farms of less than 100 acres. Ate the rate family farms are being lost, organic farms could be one of the few survival tactics left.

WE LIVE BY THE BIG MONOPOLIES AND BY THE DECISIONS OF A FEW THAN CONTROL MOST OF THE ECONOMIC ACTIVITIES. HOW WE LIVE IS OUR CHOICE AND WE DO HAVE A SAYING, OUR ACTIONS AND CHOICES. FOR ME, IT FEELS A LOT MORE BETTER TO EAT FOOD PRODUCED IN A WAY THAT IS KINDER TO THE EARTH AND TO OTHER FELLOW BEINGS WE ARE WHAT WE EAT AT ANY LEVEL, PHYSICAL AND ENERGETIC. WE TAKE IN WHATEVER ENERGIES WAS INVOLVED IN THE FOOD PRODUCTION. FOOD FOR THOUGHT.

8. Support a True Economy

Conventional food prices do not reflect hidden costs born by taxpayers, including nearly $74 billion in federal subsidies in 1988. Other hidden costs include regulation and testing, hazardous waste disposal and cleanup, and environmental damage.

THE MORE ENERGY, LABOR AND HARM TO THE EARTH INVOLVED IN FOOD PRODUCTION CAUSES A LOT OF BIOLOGICAL AND ECONOMIC LIABILITY AND WE ALL HAVE TO PAY FOR IT IN ONE WAY OR ANOTHER, MONEY, HEALTH, ETC… A TRUE ECONOMY SHOULD BE ONE WHERE WE ALL PARTICIPATE, WE CAN ALL BENEFIT, WE CAN GET SATISFACTION FOR OUR WORK, WE CONTINUOUSLY CONTRIBUTE, WHERE WE WISELY USE OUR TECHNOLOGY AND RESOURCES.

9. Promote Bio-diversity

Mono cropping reduces the diversity of plant life and strips the soil of minerals and nutrients, increasing the need for chemical fertilizers. Despite a 10-fold increase in the use of pesticides

between 1947 and 1974, insect looses doubled, partly due to genetic resistance to pesticides.

WE ARE ALL CONNECTED, WE ARE MEANT TO HONOR AND RESPECT NATURE, LIFE AND EARTH, THIS INCLUDE ANY SENTIENT BEING. WE ARE ALL HERE FOR A REASON, WE ALL PARTICIPATE IN THE PERFECT DANCE OF NATURE’S DANCE TO CREATE BALANCE, GETTING RID OF SPECIES OF ANIMALS AND VARIETIES OF PLANTS WEAKENS US ALL AND REDUCES THE POSSIBILITY OF SUSTAING LIFE. WE ARE PART OF LIFE.

10. Taste Better Flavor

 Organic food tastes better, lasts longer, and had more nutritional value than non organic food.

WE ARE WHAT WE EAT, WE HONOR, RESPECT, SUPPORT, IT IS GOING TO MANIFEST  AT ANY LEVEL IN OUR FOOD AND IT COMES IN WITH BONUSES LIKE MORE PLEASURE TO OUR TASTE BUDS, MORE NUTRITION TO OUR BODIES AND MORE JOY AND PEACE TO OUR HEART AND SPIRIT. TASTING BETTER COMES ABOUT WITH SAVORING LIFE FROM OUR TASTE BUDS TO OUR SOUL.

NUTRITION FOR YOUR BODY, MIND AND SPIRIT
