For the past 25 years I have been eating organic and strongly recommend organic to friends, family, clients, and audiences. I remember when I first started eating organic, it was hard to find organic food and many of my friends and family thought I was nuts. My Dad kept saying organic-smorganic (whatever that means) and kept shaking his head and saying, that I'm wasting my money on organic.

Anyway, I choose to spend my money on organic, and am glad that organic is more available than it was 25 years ago. I totally believe that organic is better for us, based on one of the simple keys of the USDA definition of organic: No pesticides, Not Genetically Modified

Top 5 Reasons to Eat Organic
