Green Food - The Choice of Champions!
Green Food
Do you want to live a full product life? Of course you do, who in their right minds would say otherwise. Making the choice to live like a champion is, for some, not an easy transition.
It has been really hard for me to eat healthy. I was raise on milk grave, biscuits and bleached out white grits. I forgot to mention the 12 strips of bacon for breakfast. My family did not comphrehend the world health foods. Health foods are what the weird people in California eat.
Green food is an ambigious term I use to cover a wide varity of food selections. The term reflects organic but it also includes food groups which can provide the needed nutritients and vitamins necessary to live a health productive life style.
I now live in California and I have been exposed to a few great food groups I didn't even no existed. Green food, like organic fruits and vegetables. I go to the farmers market every week and purchase the greatest peppers I have ever tasted.
Organic peppers are the best. The only time I ever ate a pepper was when it was stuffed with hamburger meat and I never did like stuffed peppers. Today, we eat the raw or stir fried in olive oil. I happen to love the taste of peppers.
The subject is incrediablly vast and I much controversy surrounds what is healthy. I will do my research on green foods and try to bring you the latest news possible.
First, let's talk a little about organic food. Why is organic better than regular store bought produce? One of the primary reason organic foods are better is because it is grown without the use of toxic chemicals.
According to this report by The Maine Organic Farmers and Gardeners Association (MOFGA), formed in 1971, is the oldest and largest state organic organization in the country.
These good folks say, "The Organic Premise: Many people are aware that food grown according to organic principles is free from exposure to harmful herbicides and pesticides, but that is only one small aspect of organic agriculture."
A larger part of organic agriculture involves the health of the soil and the ecosystem in which crops and livestock are raised. Organic farmers recognize that healthy, vibrant, and live soils and ecosystems significantly benefit crops.
Natural, undisturbed soil is alive with microbiotic organisms that exist in harmony with the native plant life and the inorganic minerals that provide the soil's substrate." To read the full report click here.
Another report Written by Gloria Tsang, RD of HealthCastle.com
Published in October 2005; updated in June 2006 says,
"A report released by the Environmental Working Group EWG sparked the interest in organic produce again. The report named 12 produce being the most contaminated with pesticides and suggested consumers to always buy organic.
The "dirty dozen" includes apples, bell peppers, celery, cherries, imported grapes, nectarines, peaches, pears, potatoes, red raspberries, spinach and strawberries.
What does Organic mean?
Organic produce is produced by farmers who emphasize the use of renewable resources and the conservation of soil and water to enhance environmental quality for future generations. According to the USDA, organic produce is produced without using most conventional pesticides, fertilizers made with synthetic ingredients or sewage sludge, bioengineering, or ionizing radiation."

After reading just a few reports involving pesticides and insecticides I believe it would be best if we all went organic.
I know it might be a challenge to find organic foods but it is possible. I am going to give you a few links and a few organic foods to review.
