Buy grass-fed, hormone-free,organic, and free-range meat, dairy and eggs. Many grocery
stores now have organic sections with produce that doesn’t contain chemical fertilizers,
pesticides, or herbicides. These choices are better for you and the earth because no chemicals
go into the soil or water. These items cost a little more but for the sake of your health-and taste
buds!- it’s worth the price. Human-made pesticides and fertilizers require energy and resources
to be manufactured and distributed; they also pollute the air, soil, and water, and have been
shown to be carcinogenic (cancer-causing) in many cases. Vegetables that are grown
organically require less fossil-fuel energy to be grown, pollute less, and are far less likely to
cause any health issues. Prevention Magazine (prevention.com) offers lots of good information
about food safety and what to avoid. Healthier is also happier!
