Why should I buy organic tofu instead of cheaper non-organic tofu?
Organic tofu is made from organically grown soybeans. Any product, which is certified organic, does not contain genetically modified organisms nor has it been subjected to radiation. Radiation has become an otherwise accepted (and not indicated on labels) way of helping preserve some food products. Even though the federal government has declared that genetically modified foods are acceptable, there are no long-term studies to prove that they are not harmful. We do know that conventional farming practices do lead to contaminated streams and soil depletion. Organic farming practices help sustain the planet’s natural eco-systems.
