Jack Mortellaro, the owner of Diamond Condition Properties, had a
rough childhood. After watching his father pass away after a long battle
with cancer, and finding himself in the hospital several times for
exhaustion, he knew it was time to make a change. He began looking at
natural healing and changing what he ate. One major change he made in
his life was switching to organic food. Like many who have made the
switch, Mortellaro no longer wanted to consume food loaded with toxins,
chemicals, and GMOs. Here are some more reasons why you should make it a
point to consume organic whenever you can.
- Organic food doesn't contain genetically modified organisms or GMOs.
- It is more nutritious and tastes better. Conventionally grown food is produced in played-out soil that lacks the nutrients found in organic food.
- Growers of organic foods don’t use pesticides and herbicides on their products. These products are used on conventionally grown food in order to poison things that could harm their crops. Pesticides and herbicides are poison.
- Organic meat and dairy are of higher quality. When you eat stuff from concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFOs) you are eating products that are loaded with antibiotics and other drugs.
- You have less chance of contracting a foodborne illness when you eat organic.
If
you are like Jack Mortellaro and are trying to live a healthier
lifestyle, do yourself a favor and make organic food a part of your diet
as often as you can. Not only will your health benefit, but so will the
rest of the world.
