Buying 'Organic' products : What you need to know

Eating organic whole foods is important, an essential component to achieving and maintaining ideal health and functional body. As more people are 'trying' to consume more organic foods, are they really eating real foods, or merely just processed foods which are labeled 'Organics'? If you want to know the truth of the so called 'Organic food products', this post may interest you.

First question, "Are you primarily eating organic whole foods?" Or are you eating mainly processed sugar laden foods which are labeled 'Organics'? Most people feel or think that they are eating healthier, without realizing the fact that they are bombarding the body with processed sugars, preservatives, wheat and primarily refined carbs. Are you just giving yourself another excuse to eat more sugars and wheat? 

One of the most common question people asked me, "Is organic whole wheat bread healthy?" The answer is a straight NO, but slightly less damaging to the body, but the concept of 'Organic' must not be an excuse of eating wheat-based foods or processed sugar loaded food products. How about organic energy bars? Or perhaps organic beer or processed fruit juices? Well, the focus here is, eating single ingredient whole foods, such as broccoli, chicken, eggs, fish, coconut oil, beef, organ meats, etc. The goal is gluten or wheat free, and avoid refined sugars to your best ability. Eating organic ice-cream will do more harm then not eating it, or being hungry for couple of hours is so much better then hitting that so called organic bread or muffin.

From the illustration structure below, you may be surprise to find out the profit-connection between processed food titans and some of the organic food manufacturers. As the trend of food purchase is shifting to organic industry, the processed food giants know where to invest, and the acquisitions of 'Organic' food companies is a clever way of sustaining the business and generating more profits.  

Remember, every dollar you pay and buy food products from these companies, you are supporting the processed food industry. Voting with food dollar is so powerful, and it start with you, one individual at a time, to support local farmers and organic whole foods industry. The amount of money spent on eating these so called 'organic' processed food products, can be invested to buying local organic whole foods.

Meanwhile, the second illustration photo below shows the connection tie between SEED-PHARMACEUTICAL-CHEMICAL companies. Very few people is aware of this multi trillion dollars 'secret' partnerships, and we as consumers are the guinea pigs and victims.

How to ensure buying from trusted sources?

- Buy from local farmers who grow their own organic crops (get to know your local farmers and visit their farms)
- STOP buying food products from food manufacturers listed in the 'Organic Industry Structure'
- Only buy from trusted organic food products, but the focus is still eating organic whole foods as foundation of daily rountine
