The Organic Solution

Chemical lawn fertilizers, herbicides, and pesticides used at home are just as dangerous, toxic, and threatening to our health and environment as chemicals used on farms. The choice to eliminate chemicals from your home and life is a powerful and important act that will benefit your family’s health immediately.

Synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, and genetically modified organisms (GMOs) are a substitute for thinking, understanding, and effort. They are necessary only to generate large profits for businesses and for disposing of our toxic industrial wastes. Virtually every food in the world has been successfully grown and made organically in modern, productive, and regenerative ways- from fine wine to white flour, apples, cherries, the most delicious gourmet beef, and olive oil.

Studies have shown that some organic foods are higher in antioxidants and powerful cancer-fighting nutrients such as conjugated linoleic acid.. They’re safer because they’re produced without dangerous chemicals, antibiotics, and risky and cheap practices like feeding dead cows to living cows, or putting contaminated sewage onto farm fields.

Choosing to eat organic foods does not condemn you to a diet of nuts, berries, and tofu. Today, you can find organic versions of the most popular foods.
