Workout and weight loss on wheels- organic or not

Organic foods come from farms and production plants are inspected by the government to insure standards are met- no fertilizers, growth hormones, or antibiotics. Packages have the USDA Organic Seal and ingredients must be organic or approved by the National Organic Program. Costs are higher for at least 2 reasons, farms are smaller and farmers must be knowledgeable of the government guidelines. However, there have not been many studies done proving that non-organic has lead to illness. Another point is organic foods do not last as long, since they are not covered in chemicals meant for longer shelf life. If you are concerned about the chemicals sprayed on foods, wash them thoroughly and peel off the skin. The best organic foods are apples, peaches, celery, pears, cherries, potatoes, spinach, grapes, lettuce, strawberries, nectarines, and sweet bell peppers.
