Organic Food defined:
Organic food is; food grown and processed without the use of genetic
engineering, any sort of synthetic or artificial fertilizer, in other words real
fertilizer. It is grown without use of all of the 'cides, referring to
pesticide, herbicide, and fungicide. It cannot be grown or processed with
antibiotics, preservatives, chemicals or use of radiation. Actually it sounds
pretty good, and its sort of scary thinking of food being irradiated and eaten!
This is true of a single ingredient food; beef, corn or a multi ingredient food
like canned chili or soup. To be considered organic all of its ingredients must
be processed organically.
Other Organics:
Organic products are not strictly related to food. In fact, organic cotton to
make clothing and bedding (organic cotton sheets) is a fast growing industry.
Would you be interested in an organic mattress? That's right, organic mattresses
for beds are becoming very popular with people working toward a less toxic
environment.
Other types of Organic products include: flowers, cosmetic and skin care
products, personal care products like shampoo, and organic jewelry. Organic
jewelry are typically made with amber, bone, antler (horn), and high-quality
rock (stone).
