You know what tastes better than a hot chocolate? That’s right, a hot chocolate made with organic milk with organic chocolate melted through it. Mmm…
Lately I’ve been a huge sucker for organic produce. A lot of the time, they taste remarkably better than their chemical-laced counterparts. Not only do they taste astounding, the methods which they use to produce certified organic products is also great for the environment.
Farmers who use organic growing methods emphasize the use of renewable resources which conserve the soil, water and surrounding environment for future generations to come. The products are produced without using artificial ingredients, biological engineering or ionizing radiation.
This means that by buying organic foods, you are supporting industry and farmers who are helping reduce our impact on the environment.
Despite the obvious positives to buying organic food, I have been disappointed at times, with the quality of it. For instance, since there isn’t such large demand for it, there are not a lot of places where you can buy organic food. When you do find places which sell it, they don’t offer a lot of choice and some lines run out (I was at Aldi a few weeks ago and there was no Organic Milk due to the drought). My next quibble, is that they don’t use genetically modified varieties of plants and therefore, they end up being smaller, less tasty or less popular.
