Imagine that you bump into
an old friend. And while going through mutual memories of the past, out of
nowhere he fires up a question: “Hey, do you happen to know anything about the positive effects of consuming
organic food? I’ve decided to start using organic. I want none of
those GMO stuff.” What would your answer be? Naturally, you want to help with a
piece of useful information. In order to give you a clue, we would like to
share with you some common thinking about what could be defined as 5 good
reasons to choose organic over GMO grown foods.
1) You know what you eat – The
use of hydrogenated fats and controversial additives like aspartame
("artificial sugar" or "sweet poison"), tartrazine
(artificial color) and MSG (monosodium glutamate - flavor enhancer) is strictly
prohibited in organic agriculture.
2) Environment loves you -
Organic farming emits less amount of greenhouse gases. By choosing organic,
local and seasonal food you can significantly reduce carbon emissions.
3) Animal welfare - Organic standards
insist on the fact that animals must have sufficient space and fresh air in
order to progress and development, thus ensuring a true freedom of life.
4) Benefit of the wild animals -
Organic farms and their surroundings are highly productive wildlife habitats
and homes for bees, birds and butterflies. The presence of insects, and the
entire flora & fauna, is increased by 50% on organic in comparison to
non-organic farms.
5) Nutrition without GMO -
Organic standards do not allow the use of genetically modified products.
