Organic
WHAT IS ORGANIC?
Organic food is real food, in its natural form, the way nature originally made it. People had been eating "organic" for thousands of years, because that was the only option. This all changed after WWII. After the war, there were many leftover chemicals developed for warfare that became fertilizers and pesticides on the farm. From then on, more science experiments have been involved in our food.
Organic refers to a way that food is made. Organic food is not changed or harmed from scientific experimentation.
Organic food is grown or made without the following:
Synthetic Pesticides/Weed killers (sadly, smaller amounts inevitably get on even organic foods through the air or water system)
Chemical fertilizers
Antibiotics or growth hormones (in animal products and the animals are fed organic food)
Preservatives
Artificial coloring or flavoring
Artificial sweeteners
Chemicals/toxins
WHY DOES AMELLA EAT ORGANIC?
I want to treat my body well and give it the best chance of a healthy life as possible. I follow the 90/10 rule (explained on the home page). I eat organic 90% of the time. And I love it. Since I began living a healthier lifestyle, I have had so much more energy and I have felt more alive! I feel like I can do so much more, because I don't have gross "tingly" feelings running constantly throughout my body or a massive headache to pull me down. Personally, I don't like feeling those sluggish symptoms but when I eat bad food with chemicals and toxins, that's what happens.
