Boggy Creek Farm shows us how to farm organicHow do you start an Organic Diet?
I’ve read that for some health conditions I have it would help if I started an organic diet. I know Whole Foods has organic food, but I’m not sure how to start this.
Do you do it gradually?
Are there organic versions of all kinds of foods?
Is it really easier on your liver?
Do you have to cook everything from scratch?
Are there any organic food restaurants in Chicago?
Has anyone switched over and have advice for a newbie?
Many grocery stores carry organic food. Most fruits and vegetables come in organic versions. You might want to look at farmers markets in your area – you can get fresh local produce at a better price.
One rule of thumb – fresher the better.
Second rule of thumb – the longer the produce has traveled, less likely it will be fresh!
I do not know if they are better for the liver. I know that organic food does not carry pesticide residues. It is also fresher, and tastes better. It is better for the environment.
It depends on what you mean by scratch. You can get many organic things frozen or even canned. But in general, the more "real" the food is, less additives in there. Generally stick to eating real food rather than synthetic food.
No advice. Just be prepared for a wallet shock. Also, you might want to look into organic ( or at least hormone free) milk. Buy local.
Good luck switching!

What are the best foods to buy organic?
We dont have lots of money but I would like to start eating more organic food. I already eat organic apples, organic mixed greens and organic peanut butter. What are the BEST foods to choose to eat organic. I heard milk and meat are good ones. Any others? I dont plan on eating everything organic but choosing the ones that are best bang for your buck.
Hey MissLiss,
I’ve heard meats and dairy since the fat in these foods tends to absorb more of the pestcides and growth hormones used in conventional farming. However, I’ve also started to use organic, unbleached flour in my baking and found that everyting I baked turned out nicer. Of course, organic fruits and veggies (when they’re in season) are tastier and healthier. You might even find that there’s a co-op organic farm nearby that you can get a membership tp for not too much money.
Has anyone tried the organic/ non-organic food detector made of coiled copper?
I found it in an organic store and the sales agent said that if you put it over food and it turns clockwise then it’s organic. Counter clockwise then it’s non-organic. Is this true?
Wow, the things people come up with to separate people from their money.
It’s a complete scam and I would wonder about a store that carries such items. Either the owners do not understand what organic foods are or they are into ripping off their customers by selling such useless and likely expensive items. Either way I would find another health food store that is honest and knowledgeable
Can organic products/ingredients be sold under a normal label?
For instance, we all know that you cannot label something as "organic" without it being certified. My question is this…can a product have a normal line and an organic line that both conisist of organic ingredients? More specifically, can normal PAM contain organic ingredients without being labeled as organic? The purpose of doing so would be to steer customers towards the SAME product that has the organic label for a few more dollars.
yes, but with most things… there is an added expense to "organics" when dealing with things such as vegetables so it would be a cost disaster unless it was the same price as other sources.

Tampons-What makes organic tampons organic and do they work better than regular ones?
I’ve noticed in stores, more organic products. Well, I caught a glimps of a box that said organic tampons. What makes them organic and do they work better than regular tampax?
Are they bio-degradable and earth friendly?
If you use them, does it make you more green?
I’m all about being green and am even a vegitarian, do you recommend ways to become more green and natural?
As the other girl mentioned, organic tampons are probably made of organic cotton. Organic cotton is like a ZILLION times better for the environment than regular cotton. Cotton is a crop that has REALLY high pesticide use, so organic obviously, would be way better than that….
Tampax are a blend between rayon I think and cotton or just rayon? They’re at least partially synthetic.
