Tell me what you eat, and I shall tell you what you are.
              – Jean-Anthelme Brillat-Savarin (1755-1826)

1. AVOID CHEMICALS
Eating organically grown food is the only way to avoid the cocktail of chemical poisons, which are laden in commercially grown food.  Go organic for chemical-free living, beautiful bodies, and a clean planet.

2. MORE NUTRIENTS
Organically grown foods have more nutrients, vitamins, minerals, enzymes and micronutrients than commercially grown food because the soil is managed and nourished with sustainable practice by responsible standards.

3. TASTES BETTER
Organically grown food generally tastes better because fortified, well-balanced soil produces healthy, strong plants. This is especially true with heirloom varieties, which are cultivated for taste over appearance.

4. THE ONLY WAY TO AVOID GMO & GENETICALLY ENGINEERED FOOD
GE (Genetically Engineered) food and GMO (Genetically Modified Organisms) are contaminating our food supply at an alarming rate with repercussions beyond understanding. GMO foods do not have to be labeled in America. Organically grown food cannot be Genetically Modified in any way and is the only way to avoid foods that have been genetically engineered.

5. AVOID HORMONES, ANTIBIOTICS, AND DRUGS IN ANIMAL PRODUCTS
Conventional meat and dairy are the highest risk foods for contamination of harmful substances. Antibiotics, drugs, and growth hormones are directly passed into meat and dairy products. Choosing organic animal products is unyieldingly important, especially for children, pregnant, and nursing mothers.

6. PRESERVE OUR ECOSYSTEMS
Organic farming supports eco-sustenance-farming in harmony with nature. Preservation of soil and crop rotation keeps farmland healthy and abstinence from chemicals preserves the ecosystem. Only then can wildlife, insects, frogs, birds, and soil organisms play their role in the tapestry of ecology.

7. REDUCE POLLUTION - Protect our water and soil.
Chemicals, pesticides and synthetic fertilizers are contaminating our environment, precious water supplies and rendering fertile farmland barren. Certified organic farming practices do not permit the use of toxic and poisonous chemicals in farming and require responsible management of healthy soil and biodiversity.

8. PRESERVE AGRICULTURAL DIVERSITY
The rampant loss of species is a major environmental concern. Leaning heavily on one or two varieties of a given food is a formula for devastation. Many organic farms grow an assorted range of food taking natural elements and time-tested tradition into account. Diversity is crucial to survival.

9. SUPPORT FARMING DIRECTLY
Buying organic food is a daily investment for a real future with a healthy ratio of hands to soil. Putting money where our mouths are is a powerful position to take in the $1 trillion dollar food industry market in America. Going organic is the wisest choice for long-term equity.

10. KEEP OUR CHILDREN AND FUTURE SAFE
An old Arabian proverb reads, “He who has health has hope, and he who has hope has everything.” And another reads. “We are only as rich as our soil and wealthy as our water.”
