The document discusses the benefits of organic food over conventionally grown food. It notes that organic food is free from chemicals and pesticides, which are neurotoxic and more harmful to children. Organic food also contains higher levels of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. Choosing organic food supports biodiversity and is better for both human and environmental health compared to conventional agriculture which relies heavily on harmful chemicals.
2. Most of the fruits and vegetables available in the mar-
ket contain large amounts of pesticides and insecti-
cides. Can we expect such food to nourish our bodies?
On the other hand we have organically grown food that
have no chemicals of any sort and provide you with
wholesome nourishment. The choice is yours.
REAL FOOD!

3. Most of the chemicals such as pesticides and insecti-
cides used on conventional farms are neurotoxic.
These are toxins that damage the nerves and the brain.
A class of chemicals called Organophosphates were
developed during World War I. After the war, when
these chemicals had no use, the industry adapted
them to kill pests on food crops.
TOXICITY

4. Did you know that kid’s brains and bodies are far more
susceptible to toxins than that of adults? Only organic
food can provide them with the wholesome nutrition
they need for complete growth and development.

5. The fruits and vegetables plucked from conventional
farms are ripened with the help of artificial hormones.
But that is not the case with Organic produce that is al-
lowed to ripen naturally on the plant or covered up in
leaves that help in the process.

6. Organic fruits and vegetables contain almost double
the vitamins and minerals present in chemical ridden
food products. When tests were done, it was found that
organic produce is higher in vitamin C, antioxidants,
and the minerals calcium, iron, chromium, and magne-
sium

7. Most Organic food tastes better than their chemical rid-
den counterparts. These food crops have grown in
their natural environment without being intoxicated by
any kind of chemicals. And happy plants give happy
fruits!

8. ‘Organic’ is the only way that food has been produced
on our planet for eons together. Compare this to pre-
sent day agriculture that destroys the environment
through the widespread use of herbicides, pesticides,
fungicides, and fertilizers. Your decision counts!
SUSTAINABLE?

9. Farmers who use chemicals on their plants were found
to be at a higher risk of cancer, heart disease and vari-
ous skin and respiratory disorders. They are exposed
to much higher quantities of chemicals than we are,
and they usually pay with their life to produce foods
with slow poisons that would, over time, have the same
effect on us.
THE FARMERS

10. Organic farms support the biodiversity of the land. The
birds, the butterfly, the insects and all the other crea-
tures love hanging around organic farms. They may
seem like pests at times, but they don’t take much and
isn’t our planet a home to them too?
