Organic Is Best For Kids

I read a great article by Dr. Alan Greene, a pediatrician and he explains why organic is the best choice we can make for our families. A poll out last week from the Organic Trade Association found a sharp decrease in parents who say price is a key factor limiting their organic purchases.  “Parents in charge of the household budget recognize the benefits of organic, and they’re willing to pay a little more to know that they are giving their families the highest-quality and most healthy products being offered in their local store,” said the trade group’s Laura Batcha.

By definition, organics cannot be grown from GMO seeds.  Organic agriculture does not use synthetic pesticides and our organic farmers work hard to avoid contamination from GMOs.  Lets take back control of our food!

Organic is best for kids -

1 – children fed an organic diet have much lower levels of high risk insecticides

2 – choosing organic food reduces the health risks of toxic pesticides by 94%

3 – The American Academy of Pediatrics warned about children’s exposure to pesticides

4 – organic dairy has higher levels of heart healthy omega 3 fatty acids

Organic is one of the best choice we can make for the health of our families.
