Are Food Supply in Danger??
Why Buy Organic Meats

Health concerns present a compelling reason for the rise on demand for organic/natural food products.  Today we are seeing a dramatic increase in new diseases, as well as the recurrence and spread of familiar diseases once thought to be under control.  There has been a rise in the spread of strains of bacteria resistant to antibiotics, and fresh concerns have arisen about new infectious agents of animal origin that are infecting humans, as in the case of Bovine Spongifarm Encephalopathy (Mad Cow Disease).

Antibiotics are used extensively by conventional farms to fight the diseases caused by overcrowding, lack of sunlight, and fresh air.  This has lead to the development of antibiotic resistant bacteria.  To date, four resistant strains of disease causing bacteria have transmitted from animals to humans: Salmonella, Campylobacter, Enterocci, and E.coli.  The antibiotic use in conventional farming is enormous.  According to a recent report from the institute of Medicine, about half, or 12,000 tons, of all antibiotics produced in the U.S. each year, are used for animal husbandry.  As little as 10% of these drugs are given to treat illness, the rest are used as growth promotants or to prevent disease.  Direct evidence that 'antibiotic use in food producing animals results in resistant diseases in humans' was presented at a meeting of 70 health experts convened by the World Health Organization.

The Benefits for Organic Farming

Protects future generations
Prevents soil erosion
Protects ground water quality

Saves energy - Modern conventional farming uses more petroleum than any other single industry, consuming 12% of the country's total energy supply. Organic farming is more labor intensive.

Keeps chemicals out of our food chain - Many pesticides approved by the E.P.A were registered before there was extensive research which links these chemicals to cancer and other diseases.

Helps small family farmers

Supports a farm economy without government handouts - Modern conventional farmers received billions in federal subsidies this year alone.

Promotes bio-diversity with crop rotations and sustainable farming practices.

Better tasting products.

Organic Farming
This is a page of Organic Gardening techniques, topics and selected links to other Organic Farming information. Organic farming is vital to our Health and Prosperity.

Genetically engineered foods, sold in most food stores in the US and in many other countries may be hazardous to the health and may harm the environment.

DISPOSING USED MOTOR OIL
Each month more than 16 million gallons of used
oil is disposed improperly. That is more than was lost by the Exxon Valdez super-tanker off the coast of Alaska.
