RE: Are Organic Foods Really Healthier?

in #food8 years ago

Around 2 years ago my family and I began a slow switch to organic foods and have never looked back. Personally I like knowing that my food has been grown/reared by a more natural, traditional way of farming. I generally find that organic whole foods are more flavoursome and I would say we feel healthier for having made the switch.
That said, just because the label says organic does not necessarily mean healthy. As you pointed out it may be loaded with sugar for example, which as we know doesn't do us any good organic or not.
For me going organic also made me cook more from scratch as generally processed/convenience organic foods are limited. This has been such a blessing though as I now have full control over what goes into our food.
Thanks to my organic journey I'm still discovering new things I can make for myself without turning to store bought options. I certainly wouldn't go back!

It is so important to read and understand the labels so you know what is in your food!

With three little girls in the house I only want to give them the best.

Yes, couldn't agree more. I do feel food labeling is becoming harder to understand though, especially where GMOs are concerned. Another reason I'm trying to cook more from scratch.
Sounds like you're doing a great job at making sure your girls eat well :)
