Organic Food Is Better Than Non-Organic, here's Why?

Organic produce is the food that is made by using as much as natural products as possible. This is done to keep any chemical trances even though said safe is not all-natural, which will cause the food to grow to lose some of its natural nutrients. This type of growing produce is called inorganic produce.


This is done by adding some chemical fertilizers and pesticide during the growth for making a high-breed or to make it look more vibrant and have shine to it on the outside.

This adding of chemicals will also cause for the food to grow to lose some of its taste due to the faster growth process. Especially with animal products, they are fed with hormones, drugs, etc., for further growth of the tier body and increase the quality of the meat. Non-organic food items are usually cheaper compared to the organic counterpart because farming and growing methods yield more food per acre. There is minimal loss due to insect damage, and shelf life is often longer.


According to The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), organic produce carries significantly fewer pesticide residues than does conventional food. Organic farming practices are designed to benefit the environment by reducing pollution and conserving water, soil quality. Organic produce often costs more than non-organic.

Though they are costly when compared, they are so much better in quality-wise and also, by avoiding any chemicals, we avoid GMO, more nutrients, better taste, reduce pollution of soil and water, organic produce is also certified, which means Certified natural means products have no prohibited pesticides or synthetic fertilizers. By eating organic products, you are minimizing your risk for exposure to environmental toxins and severe health issues that are found in non-organic meat and produce. In addition to it, organic foods are the cleanest available.

Organic food producers apply natural fertilizers, such as manure or compost, to feed soil and plants. They use insects and birds, mating disruption, or traps to reduce pests and some diseases. To avoid weed growth, they rotate crops, till, hand weed or mulch. They also give animals organic feed and allow access to the outdoors. By using preventive methods such as rotational grazing, they minimize diseases.

There are different levels of certification for the food they are: -

100% Organic: - Made entirely from organic materials.

Organic: - At least 95% of organic materials are used, with remaining ingredients that are approved by the USDA or the certified govt facility.

Made with Organic Ingredients: - At least 70% of organic ingredients and can display three organic ingredients on the label. Cannot use the organic seal on it.

Non-Organic: - If less than 70% organic ingredients, cannot be label as organic or use the USDA organic seal.

Though people have their doubts regarding the cost and others with organic products, they are still better and safer for you and to try and save some of the the environment we live in.

Cutting people off isn’t strength—It is a trauma response

Your ability to cut people off and self-isolate is not a skill you should be proud of—It is a trauma response Summary Cutting people off and self-isolating may feel like a protective shield, but it is often rooted in unresolved or unhealed trauma and an inability to depend on others. While these behaviors seem like self-preservation, they end up reinforcing isolation and blocking meaningful connections. Confronting these patterns, seeking therapy, and nurturing supportive relationships can help break this unhealthy cycle. Plus, a simple act like planting a jasmine plant can symbolise the start of your journey towards emotional healing. Why do we cut people off and isolate? If you’re someone who prides themselves on “cutting people off” or keeping a tight circle, you might believe it’s a skill—a way to protect yourself from betrayal, hurt, or unnecessary drama. I get it. I’ve been there, too. But here’s the thing: this ability to isolate yourself is not as empowering as it may seem. In...

Does India need communal parties?

I think, it was Tan's post on this blog itself, Republic Day Event, where this question was raised. My answer. YES. we need communal parties even in Independent, Secular India. Now let me take you, back to events before 1947. When India was a colony of the British Empire. The congress party, in its attempt to gain momentum for the independence movement, heavily used Hinduism, an example of which is the famous Ganesh Utsav held in Mumbai every year. Who complains? No one. But at that time, due to various policies of the congress, Muslims started feeling alienated. Jinnah, in these times, got stubborn over the need of Pakistan and he did find a lot of supporters. Congress, up till late 1940's never got bothered by it. And why should we? Who complains? No one. But there were repercussions. The way people were butchered and slaughtered during that brief time when India got partitioned, was even worse than a civil war scenario. All in the name of religion. And there indeed was cr...
