"Is Organic Worth The Price?"
http://www.wellnesswithrose.com/articles/organic.html
My grandmother sent me to do some grocery shopping for her the other day, and when I brought back the food with the receipt I thought she was going to have a heart attack right there in the kitchen!
I don’t think I’ve ever heard her say a bad word in her life when I heard her suddenly yell: “Blueberries for $7.99! Are they out of their ------- minds?!”
My grandparents have had a garden in their backyards now for over 65 years, and grown a lot of their own produce… and organically I might add.
Times have changed since the days that we actually grew our own food, and if we want to get fresh chemical free foods it looks like we have to pay the price.
I had to explain to her that I had gone to my favorite health food store and that the blueberries were grown organically without chemicals and pesticides. To which she replied:
“So shouldn’t they cost less then since they have to put less on them?! Why do they need chemicals anyway? We’ve been growing for over 65 years without chemicals.”
Valid point, I must say.
There are three reasons why I eat organic foods whenever possible.
1. Higher nutritional content
2. Less cancer causing chemicals, nerve poisons and pesticides
3. Better taste
