Organic and natural foods have become an industry by themselves in the food business with organic grocery stores and health food store becoming more and more popular every day especially in large cities like area of Richmond Hill, ON. But why is organic food better for you than the food in supermarkets?
Organic food, for starters, is food that doesn’t use any modern-day synthetic inputs. Meaning farm products are not grown using chemicals like chemically altered fertilizer or pesticides and the meat doesn’t have any hormone additives or antibiotics. In other words, organic is 100% natural and unprocessed food.
Regular commercial produce and meat are produced by bigger commercial farms whose goal is to produce as much possible for the least amount of cost. As a result, these farms use pesticides and chemical fertilizers on their plants and feed their animals the cheapest animal feeds available; both practices lead to the production of poor and unhealthy products which are not ideal for human consumption.
