Why should I eat organic meats?

If you eat meat, then organic free range meats that are free of growth hormones and antibiotics should be your choice. Animals that are raised on commercial farms are kept in small confined spaces often so small that they can't even turn around. This is not only tantamount to animal abuse, we could never do this to a pet, but this unhealthy confined environment leads to stress and illness. Animals are given a steady dose of antibiotics to stave off infections and growth hormones to fatten them up quickly.

When we ingest these commercial meats that are full of antibiotics they wipe out our intestinal flora, good bacteria, needed for nutritional absorption. You might be eating your fruits and vegetables but if they aren't being properly broken down and assimilated your cells aren't getting the nourishment they need.  

The widespread use of antibiotics also leads to the emergence of resistant bacteria or "superbugs" that have become immune to antibiotics.

The steady dose of growth hormones that plumped up these livestock are also plumping us up . Growth hormones lead to weight gain and have been implicated in the growth of cancers. Excessive meat eating also leads to the body becoming more acidic as uric acid from the meat build up in your body. 

Are organic fruits and vegetables a waste of money?

Pesticides that kill bugs are toxins that not only contaminate our foods but contaminate our ground water. These toxins can't be washed off the foods , they are absorbed by the plant and when the fruit or vegetable is ingested these toxins build up in the body. We are a microcosm of planet earth and whatever we put into her eventually ends up in us. Toxins also weaken the liver and kidney and make us more susceptible to stress and diseases.  Plants grown with conventional or NPK fertilizers ( nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium) are also depleted of essential micronutrients that traditional mulching and manuring provides.
