Rid your body of Toxins, Today!!

Rid your body of toxins – keep insecticides and pesticides out of the air, water, soil and out of our bodies. The average conventionally-grown apple has between 20 & 30 artificial poisons on its skin, even after washing.




2. Boost your immune system - organic produce has, on average, 50% more vitamins, minerals, enzymes and other micro-nutrients than intensively farmed produce, so it minimises health risks to you and your family. On average organic food has higher levels of Vit C and essential minerals as well as cancer-fighting antioxidants.



3. Enjoy the taste. Why would something natural taste better after being sprayed with various poisons? Organic fruit and vegetables are grown more slowly and have a lower water content, which means they have a fuller flavour.



4. Care for animals. Organic farming has the highest levels of animal welfare. Animals are not kept in feed lots but are allowed... space to roam free, are fed GM-free feed. Antibiotics that are routinely added to animal food are not used in organic farming.



5. No GM – in the UK, this is the only practical way in which we can avoid all genetically modified foods. We have such diluted laws for labelling GM foods that we cannot know when we are eating them. By supporting organic, you are registering your mistrust of GM and protesting against it.


6. Trust our food again. To be organically certified means that farming practises have met stringent standards and have been grown and handled according to strict procedures, without the use of toxic chemicals.



7. Fight global warming. Commercial farming tends to be large-scale factory farming highly dependent on fossil fuels – modern farming methods use more petroleum than any other single industry. Organic farming is labour-intensive, with practices such as weeding by hand, and it uses green manures rather than synthetic fertilisers which build up the soil, thus saving energy.



8. Promote biodiversity. Mono-cropping may have increased farm production but the lack of natural diversity of plant life has left the soil lacking in natural minerals and nutrients, which is why most commercial farmers use fertilisers (ammonia). Organic farming plants diverse crops and relies on companion planting and organic matter, which promotes wildlife diversity and sustains the soil, increasing the nutrients in produce.



9. Protect future generations. By eating organic before you have children, you are already protecting them from toxic risk. Our generation is now reaping the results of four generations of exposure to agricultural and industrial chemicals. Eating organic will enhance the health of our children and will leave a legacy of forests and fields, rather than large tracts of land stripped of their nutrients.
