Why eat Organic
Throughout history, unadulterated foods have been the foundation of the human diet. However, in the mid-20th century, chemical and factory farming became prevalent to increase crop yields. Unfortunately, these practices have resulted in significant environmental and economic imbalances, affecting the health of animals, plants, micro-organisms, soil, oceans, atmosphere, and humans. Even those with technology and wealth are not immune to the adverse effects of an unhealthy environment.
Maintaining good health has become a challenge in today’s polluted urban environment due to contaminated water, air, and food. As our urban population grows, we see the negative impacts of rapidly changing lifestyles, poor diets, and lack of exercise. When we consume polluted food, we carry that pollution in our bodies, accumulating toxins and developing diseases such as obesity, diabetes, and heart disease.
Children are particularly vulnerable to agricultural toxins, as they consume more than their size. Shockingly, the average child is exposed to four times more cancer-causing pesticides found in food than the average adult. It’s time to prioritise clean, unadulterated food and recognise the importance of a healthy environment for the well-being of all.
