Organic Vegetables



Organically grown produce is better for your health than non-organically grown produce. It is grown without chemical fertilizers or pesticides. It tastes better, too! Even supermarkets are selling some organically grown produce. It often costs more than chemically-laden veggies. However, if you consider the higher quantity of nutrients organically grown produce provides - not to mention the potential of reduced medical costs - then it is well worth what you pay for it!

"Over 400 pesticides are currently licensed for use on our foods, and every year over 2.5 billion pounds are dumped on crop lands, forests, lawns and fields."
-Lindsey Duncan, Certified Nutritionist Healthy & Natural Journal, Vol.3.


"Organic food sales jumped over the $2 billion mark in 1994 reflecting a 20% annual increase every year since 1989. There's been a tenfold increase in the acreage used for organic crop growth since 1980."
