I think we can all agree on the fact that fast food, sweets, and junk food are not good for our bodies; we need more vegetables, fruits, good sources of protein, and healthy fats in our diet and less of the empty, fattening, disease-causing calories. But when someone asks me why it\u2019s important to choose to eat organic food over conventional (or non-organic) food, they might hear more than they bargained for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Eating an organic diet is increasing in popularity, but many people may not realize why choosing organic is critical to creating a healthier lifestyle. There are many reasons to choose organic foods, but one reason in particular is to avoid Genetically Modified Organisms, also known as GMOs, which is a term you may have heard within the trendy \u201chealth food\u201d realm. It is recognized that a GMO \u201cis the result of a laboratory process where genes from the DNA of one species are extracted and artificially forced into the genes of an unrelated plant or animal. The foreign genes may be from bacteria, viruses, insects, animals, or even humans.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n
