Organic Food

[Storm]

"No proof" organic food is better (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/6238227.stm)

There is no evidence organic food is better than food grown conventionally, minister David Miliband has said.
The Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs said organic food was more of a "lifestyle choice that people can make".
He insisted that food grown with the use of pesticides and other chemicals should not be regarded as inferior.

According to the Soil Association, organic food sales in the UK increased by 30% to £1.6bn in 2006.


I found this interesting article about organic food, and thought to share it, I might get some interesting information in this field which I don’t have.

well dear i think u was waiting 4 me 2 answer this thread.then lets start your thread
Organic produce is not covered in a cocktail of poisonous chemicals. The average conventionally-grown apple has 20-30 artificial poisons on its skin, even after rinsing. Trust your instincts, and go organic!
Fresh organic produce contains on average 50% more vitamins, minerals, enzymes and other micro-nutrients than intensively farmed produce. Science says that it’s good for you.
Going organic is the only practical way to avoid eating genetically modified (GM) food. And by buying organic food, you are registering your mistrust of GMO’s and doing your bit to protest against them.
If you eat dairy or meat products, going organic has never been more essential to safeguard you and your family’s health. Intensively-reared dairy cows and farm animals are fed a dangerous cocktail of anti-biotics, growth promoting drugs, anti-parasite drugs and many other medicines on a daily basis, whether they have an illness or not. These drugs are passed directly onto the consumers of their dairy produce or meat., which must be a contributing factor to meat-related diseases like coronaries and high blood pressure.
About 99% of non-organic farm animals in the UK are now fed GM soya. And there has never been a reported case of BSE in organic cattle in the UK. Common sense says that organic is safe food.
Organic produce simply tastes so much better. Fruit and vegetables full of juice and flavour, and so many different varieties to try! There are about 100 different kinds of organic potatoes in production in the UK, and that’s just potatoes!
Organic farms support and nurture our beautiful and diverse wildlife. Over the last thirty years, intensive farming in the UK has led to dramatic erosion of the soil, a fall of up to 70% of wild birds in some areas, the destruction of ancient hedgerows, and the near extinction of some of the most beautiful species of butterflies, frogs, grass-snakes and wild mammals.
Organic food is not really more expensive than intensively farmed foods, as we pay for conventional foods through our taxes. We spend billion of pounds every year cleaning up the mess that agro-chemicals make to our natural water supply. And the BSE crisis cost us 4 billion pounds. Go organic for a genuine more cost-effective future.
Intensive farming can seriously damage farm workers’ health. There are much higher instances of cancer, respiratory problems and other major diseases in farm workers from non-organic farms. This is particularly true in developing countries, and for agrochemical farms growing cotton. So go organic if you care about other people.
And if you simply like the idea of your children and grandchildren being able to visit the countryside and play in the forests and fields just like we did when we were young, go organic for the sake of all of our futures.
well what my friend talled me and i posted 4 u

Storm, I personally would always opt for organic food, though a lot of research is required when it comes to prove which one of the two is better

It is widely believed that organic food is safer to consume & safer for the environment

Of course those who have a big industry for growing food with conventional methods will try to justify & prove that organic food is not superior

I always kept wondering about the importance of organic food now that i hear alot about it

Thank you for sharing storm :cute:
