Health enthusiasts claim the benefits and many agree with them, but the debate, especially in this difficult economic climate, has become: is the juice worth the (monetary) squeeze?
On average, organic vegetables cost about 13 to 36 cents more per lb. more than ordinary produce, and organic meat and dairy can escalate to an even higher differential. Though organic food provides obvious benefits such as lack of chemicals, pesticides and antibiotics, many have questioned the value of these things, and whether the amounts are significant enough to make a difference.
A 2009 study in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, declared that results of their study of organic and conventional produce found no difference between the two except three vitamin levels. A recent Time Magazine article states that only 3% of cattle in the U.S. are organically raised and just 0.02% of hogs and 1.5% of poultry.
So what is the American to do that already, according to the USDA, consumes 1.5 times the amount of meat that the regulatory agency recommends? Outside of buying pricey organic meat, fish is the first option. Fish are high in omega-3’s and a more lean source of protein.
