Seven Real Reasons to Buy Organic Food
(and we think Farmers’ Markets have the best quality Organic Food - Jack)
• Tastes better and has more flavor.
• Nutritionally superior.
• No Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs) – plantings are banned in most of Europe. (GMO food, unbelievably, isn't labelled as such in the U.S.)
• Isn't sprayed or treated with toxic chemicals, antibiotics or growth hormones.
• Much better for the environment - no contamination of rivers, lakes, streams, animals, butterflies and humans.
• Keeps the soil healthy rather than destroying it.
• Even rats think it’s better – and they are slimmer, have improved immune systems and sleep better.
