During your lifetime you will consume over 100 tonnes of food and drink. This has an enormous influence on not only your health and wellbeing but also the environment in which the food was produced.
Most conventional food, drink and skin care products have traces of man-made chemical residues. Many of these are petroleum-based substances and are known carcinogens but they continue to be used in Australian agriculture and food production. Now state governments are contemplating adding to the health risks by allowing a handful of multinational corporations to plant untested GE crops across Australia. This will have a devastating effect on an agricultural industry already decimated by drought.
When we purchase conventional food products we are supporting chemically enhanced, over processed, factory-farmed production methods.
Organic foods on the other hand are grown and produced just as nature intended, free from laboratory-made synthetic compounds and antibiotics, free from GMOs and unhealthy food additives and supporting livestock living stress-free, contented lives. But best of all, there is a mounting body of evidence that organic food is better for you and it tastes great!
In this book you will learn why organic products are best for: ? Your health ? Animal welfare ? Supporting small producers ? Taste ? Avoiding chemicals ? Shopping locally ? The environment ? Avoiding GMOs ? Eating in season.
Beautifully illustrated with full-colour throughout, the CLEAN FOOD ORGANIC series is the definitive guide to organics in Australia. Previous issues still available.
