Why Organic?

Why Choose Organic?

Think about it: if a food is sprayed and treated with toxic chemicals that were designed to kill living objects, don’t you think that some of the life force energy in that food is destroyed as well? Take an organic apple and compare it to its conventionally grown counterpart. Isn’t the conventional apple prettier? Its skin is deep red with virtually no bruises, and it’s probably so shiny you can almost see your reflection while taking a bite. This simple difference is why some people would rather pick up the conventionally grown apple instead of the organic one. We are humans, and humans love pretty, shiny objects! We’re attracted to beauty, and conventional food manufacturers use this to their advantage. They can grow apples in a controlled environment, under artificial light and sprayed with pesticides, herbicides, fungicides, and a variety of other chemicals to keep the fruit looking as perfect as possible to appear as though it has a much longer shelf life.

The organic farmer grows his fruit sustainably, usually on an apple farm where he harvests the fruit using natural methods that are better for the environment and better for you. His apples may not be as “perty” as the other ones, but rest assured they are rich with nutrients, and void of all those toxins! Now think about this same scenerio in dealing with supplements. How many energy boosters or sexual enhancement pills have you seen that are brightly colored and “fancy” looking? Haven’t you seen many so-called “natural” pills that are bright pink, blue, or orange? Do you think the herbs used to make that product are really that color in nature? Of course not! Raw-Nation's Hot Rawks™ has no added colors, fillers, dyes, or harmful coatings. Hot Rawks™ simply contains 7 amazing herbs, organically grown and harvested before being placed in a vegetarian capsule. Nothing more, nothing less.

10 Great Reasons to Go Organic:

Organic products meet stringent standards  Organic certification is the public’s assurance that products have been grown and handled according to strict procedures without persistent toxic chemical inputs.

Organic food tastes great! It’s common sense – well-balanced soils produce strong, healthy plants that become nourishing food for people and animals.

Organic production reduces health risks Many EPA-approved pesticides were registered long before extensive research linked these chemicals to cancer and other diseases. Organic agriculture is one way to prevent any more of these chemicals from getting into the air, earth and water that sustain us.

Organic farms respect our water resources The elimination of polluting chemicals and nitrogen leaching, done in combination with soil building, protects and conserves water resources.

Organic farmers build healthy soil  Soil is the foundation of the food chain. The primary focus of organic farming is to use practices that build healthy soils.

Organic farmers work in harmony with nature Organic agricultural respects the balance demanded of a healthy ecosystem: wildlife is encouraged by including forage crops in rotation and by retaining fence rows, wetlands, and other natural areas.

Organic producers are leaders in innovative research Organic farmers have led the way, largely at their own expense, with innovative on-farm research aimed at reducing pesticide use and minimizing agriculture’s impact on the environment.

Organic producers strive to preserve diversity The loss of a large variety of species (biodiversity) is one of the most pressing environmental concerns. The good news is that many organic farmers and gardeners have been collecting and preserving seeds, and growing unusual varieties for decades.

Organic farming helps keep rural communities healthy USDA reported that in 1997, half of U.S. farm production came from only 2% of farms. Organic agriculture can be a lifeline for small farms because it offers an alternative market where sellers can command fair prices for crops.

Organic abundance  Foods and non-foods alike! Now every food category has an organic alternative. And non-food agricultural products are being grown organically – even cotton, which most experts felt could not be grown this way. -Organic Trade Association, www.ota.com
