Question: Why do you think it's important to use organic/natural products!?
why do you think it's important to use natural and/or organic products and/or why do you choose to use them!?
:]
personally, I use natural and organic products because it helps to keep the environment safe and being used for what mother nature intended it to be used for instead of clearing it all out to make room for more factories and chemical dumps!. Www@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
OF COURSE!!!

For the reasons you have listed!.

Plus:

For Fair Trade reasons

To avoid GM crops

To help stop child slave labour in third world countries

To help protect the waterways

Soil sustainably for future generations

To protect my health from toxic synthetic chemicals

Plus in 99!.99!.99% of cases, certified organic produce tastes sensational!. Where as much of the conventional stuff you buy has no true defining taste!.

Improve animal welfare!. Yes I know you still get organic free range chickens to eat but at least they weren’t kept in cruel and inhuman conditions and fed antibiotics!.

I consume (whenever possible) certified organic vegan food and drinks!.

And I only use natural skincare products (i!.e!.) certified organic virgin coconut oil as a face, body and hair moisturiser!.!. Tastes yummy too!

And I try to buy organic or hemp clothing and linen, towels etc…!.

As JenD says above……!.!. the word "natural” on consumer goods means nothing at all!.

You have to be very careful with the word “organic” too, as many unscrupulous big corporations are trying to cash in, when their products are anything but!.

I buy organics for three reasons: less soil erosion and water pollution, my health, better working conditions (although this is starting to change with the advent of huge corporate organics now)!.

I think people one hundred years from now will look back and think we were the stupidest generation for spoiling the soil and our bodies with toxic synthetic chemicals!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I purchase organic products because I choose not to ingest toxins, and why would I want to rub them on my skin, or use them to brush my teeth, or wash my son's clothes in them!?

And by the way, the word "natural" on consumer goods means nothing at all!. The term has never been defined by the FDA!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I like to!. I think it's better for the environment and me!. Plus some things taste better!. The organic tomatoes from my local farmer's market are never cottony and don't have those crunchy white cores!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

It all depends!. Diseases are natural, as are many poisons!. And if we had to use only natural fertilisers, the earth could only grow enough food for half its population!. Antibiotics were originally discovered as natural products, but we now have artificial variants that are more powerful!. So it is not always true that natural is better!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
