If you have ever noticed the organic food products at your local grocery store, then you definitely have noticed that they cost considerably more than conventional foods. Because of this, many people aren't willing to spend the money on them, but there are many reasons why you should buy organic foods.
The first reason you should buy organic is because it is better for the environment. Pesticides are used on conventional food crops to keeps pests away. Since insects can become resistant to the chemicals, even stronger ones need to be developed constantly.

Pesticides can be very harmful to the environment, because the pesticides can leach into groundwater and cause pollution when they are sprayed into the air. Since organic foods don't use these harmful chemicals, the more that people buy organic foods, the healthier the environment will be.
Another reason to buy organic is that they are also better for you. The meat that you buy at your local grocery store can be very bad for you. Many of the animals are given growth hormones and antibiotics that can be passed to you when you eat them.
Animals that are raised for organic foods are never exposed to these harmful chemicals and always have to be raised under regulations that are stricter. These animals are only fed organic feed and as such are healthier than are livestock raised conventionally.
When plants and animals are exposed to dangerous pesticides and other chemicals, the farmers are also exposed to them. These chemicals can cause health problems in farmers, especially cancer.
Also, many organic farms are quite small, so you're also helping to support small farms by buying organic foods.
Probably the number one reason why you should buy organic foods is that conventionally produced foods cause a lot of health problems for your body. Ingesting these types of chemicals can cause numerous health issues, including obesity.
When more people start buying organic foods, there will be less air and water pollution; and that's a good thing for every living thing on the planet.
Another reason to choosing organic is that it tastes great. One common misconception about organic food is that it does have flavor and is very bland. But, this is very untrue. In fact, many people who choose to eat organic prefer the taste to that of non-organically produced foods.
Non-food products can also be organic. Many beauty products that are sold in stores are organic, including make-up, skin lotions and more. Only organic ingredients are used in these products, so there are no mystery ingredients. Unlike conventional personal care brands, organic products will not have any long term effects.
The positives of buying organic food heavily outweigh the price that you have to pay for them. People may think that the foods are too expensive, but what you are paying for when you buy organic instead of conventional food is a healthier life for you and others, better tasting food and a healthier Earth.
