Especially for families with small children, who are more sensitive to harsh chemicals as their brains and bodies develop, we think it’s definitely better to go organic. A few reasons why:
-No pesticides or harsh chemicals are used, especially on fruits and vegetables.
-Organic farming is better for the environment, adding fewer chemicals to the soil and water supply and more sustainable for long term.
-Higher quality products because most organic farms are quite small, producing smaller batches of food
-Organic meat and dairy products don’t contain antibiotics or artificial hormones, two things that have shown to cause developmental delays and other adverse effects in humans.
In general, if it’s within your means, organic is always better. Give it a try and see if you feel more energetic and healthier after a few months of eating organic foods, especially fruits and vegetables!
