How to buy organic produce – organic foods
Looking for organic produce, but not sure you’ve got the real thing? Anna Lappe, organic food expert, tells you the simple ways to tell whether produce is organic or not.
First, let’s explain what organic produce is:
Produce that is grown organically has not been produced with sewage sludge, it hasn’t been irradiated, it doesn’t include genetically modified foods, or most man-made chemicals.
How can you tell whether a piece of produce is organic?
If you’re in a store that has an organic section, obviously head for it. But if there isn’t an organic section, you have to do a little bit of extra work.
* The first thing you should do is look for the USDA certified organic label. If they don’t have that, look for the PLU number on most fruits and vegetables. You’ll find this on a small label that’s been stuck to the fruit.
* If the PLU number is four digits long, it’s not organic.
* If it’s 5 digits long and begins with the number 9, it is organic.
* You can also look at the fruit. Unfortunately, nonorganic fruit tends to be shinier and more perfect looking than organic.
Why buy organic produce?
It’s healthier for your body. It’s healthier for the environment, since it doesn’t require pesticides. It’s healthier for the farm workers who handle the crops.
Babies and small children are especially vulnerable to residues of toxic pesticides and other chemicals.

Why Eating Organic Foods Should be a No-Brainer
http://www.therenegadehealthshow.com – No matter where I go, or who I talk to, the most common questions about healthy foods that get are these…
Why should I eat organic food vs conventional? Are organic foods really better than conventional foods? How do I know that I’m not being scammed?
You’d think that with the scientific evidence that pesticides are harmful and organics have more nutrients than conventional foods that people would start switching over.
But it’s not the case. I read in a magazine recently that 98% of the population still doesn’t eat organics (who knows if that number is right or not, but even if it’s 70%, it’s still a big deal!)
Many of you who read this blog, are in that other 2%, but we still want our friends, family members and fellow humans to be healthy and not suffer from unnecessary toxic load.
So I’ve created a demonstration, that hopefully we can share that may change our perspective on the importance of organic foods…

OBAMA TO MAKE ORGANIC FARMING ILLEGAL – HR875 and S425 Explained – STOP THE NWO!
I recorded this from the Thom Hartmann show on Air America 3/26/2009. It was the first time I heard this mentioned in the media at all. I was thrilled. Especially after that PR stunt that the White House did with Michelle Obama planting an organic garden. What a load of crap….yet the Obots love it. This segment of the show ran 1 hour with phone calls and 1 other interview. I have it all and will post it if wanted. This portion is the most informative of what HR875 really is. Get the word out. Time to wake up guys.
Hey Congress….we are watching and you will be gone.
