My family is currently in the process of switching over to eating more and more organic foods and free range whenever possible. For us the benefits outweigh the cost (organic foods tend to cost more than their counterparts.) Switching has not been easy especially in certain food groups such as snacks but here are ten good reasons to switch to organic foods:

1.) Organic products meet stringent standards

Organic certification is the your assurance that products have been grown and handled according to strict procedures without  toxic chemicals. Just like the FDA handles most of the food

2.) Organic food tastes great! Ok,well this is just my opinion but if you taste organic and then taste non-organic you will notice the clear difference.

3.) Organic production reduces health risks
This is common sense one, fewer chemicals equals better health

4.)  Organic farms respect our water resources

The elimination of polluting chemicals and nitrogen leaching, done in combination with soil building, protects and conserves water resources.

5.) Organic farming helps keep rural communities healthy

Organic agriculture can be a lifeline for small farms because it offers an alternative market where sellers can command fair prices for crops.
