Do you know your food?

What does organic mean? What are the benefits of eating organic? When you know your food, you can make proper food choices that are healthy for you and your body as well as your environment, farmers and animals.
Chose food that states "USDA organic" to meet consistent uniform standards defined by federal law. Did you know that "Natural" is not regulated by law except on meat labels? Organic means food produced without synthetic growth hormones, antibiotics, chemical fertilizers or genetically modified organisms (GMO). Did you know that cows on organic farms spend at least 120 days per yr outside of graxing on fresh pasture? Studies have show organic food to be more nutritious. And most importantly, by not supporting our organic farmers, the economic stability of the organic market would disappear and farmers would go out of business. So support your local farmers and buy organic. To know more about this go to www.eatingwell.com/go/knowyourfood.
