Organic Food

People found many ways to make fruits grow faster and look better. Strawberries are now 2-3 times larger then they used to be. Worms are not eating our fruits. But what is the price we are paying for it? All the chemicals that go into the ground end up being absorbed by fruits and vegetables that grow on it. These chemicals end up being a part of these plants. When we eat this fruits and vegetables we also consume everything that these plants absorbed, including the chemicals.

Pesticides are used to keep bugs from eating plants. If worms don’t want to eat these chemicals, why would we want to eat an apple that has this pesticide all over it?


Once we eat these foods, chemicals that are on them end up traveling through our body until it reaches liver and kidneys. Both liver and kidneys can help us get rid of toxic chemicals. If we eat inorganic fruit once in a great blue moon, it’s not that bad. Our body can take care of itself and rid itself of the toxins. Sadly many of us eat non organic food every day. Liver and kidneys end up being overworked and start breaking just like a car that was driven too far without a tune up. With these organs unable to function, toxins will start building up and will slowly poison the whole body.


Now lets look at poultry and other meats. Chickens are often given antibiotics. Organisms can become resistant to antibiotics. This is exactly what happened to some of the most problematic bacteria that are now spreading in the population. MRSA and VRE are two of these bacteria and they are a very big problem in hospitals as it is very hard to treat wounds infected by these organisms. By giving antibiotics to animals, we increase the chances of giving more bacteria this resistance.


Antibiotics are not the only problem with meat. Animals are fed foods that have chemicals in them. The healthier animal’s diet is, the healthier meat will be. Milk and eggs are affected greatly by foods animals eat.


Be nice to your body, you need it. Feed it well. Give it healthy food.
