Over the past few years organic foods have been thrust into the limelight. Soon, organic food stores popped up everywhere, becoming almost as popular as regular grocery stores. Even in grocery stores organic and natural foods have become increasingly popular.
Foods which we have grown to love have jumped on the natural and organic train. Majority of ads focus their type on the natural benefits of their product. However, the prices for these items are sometimes double the regular price for their conventional option.
I'm not sure where I stand on this debate. I know it's not well liked to be a fence sitter on issues, but I am. I do believe organic apples taste way better than regular apples. I had organic yogurt covered pretzels and nearly died from splendor. However, foods with shells and peels I have yet to see a difference.
There are many articles about this issue. Grinning Planet is pro-organic article, reporting in detail the benefits of organic. Actually, majority of hits which came up on goggle were pro-organic. I couldn't find an article strictly supporting conventional foods. If you do find one, please let me know!
Foods which should be eaten as organic tend to be those without a shell or peel. If you do not prepare the food prior to eating (apples, strawberries, potatoes, etc) should be organic. The best thing to do it to buy something organic, along with its conventional option and do a taste test. If you don't like it, then don't buy it! But don't simply buy one over the other based strictly on others options. Do what is best for you and your body. You are your best investment, so invest wisely!
