Is organic food all hype?
It’s probably not just all "hype" since in the end you’re eating food the way nature intended it to grow as well as decreasing your chemical intake from pesticides. However, at the same time, evaluate which products you choose to buy organic since sometimes it’s cheaper and actually better (taste-wise) to buy the regular option if it’s in season.
Organic food is marketed in various ways – some labelling and advertising can be misleading, and not all food containing ‘organic’ ingredients is healthy. However, truly organically-grown fruit and vegetables should be free of genetic modification, artificial fertilisers, fungicides, pesticides and chemicals; organically-reared animals should be free of antibiotics, growth promoters and hormones, and fed a ‘natural’ organic diet. Personally, I refer not to consume chemicals, antibiotics and hormones…!
