The 20 Worst Foods In America

Check this out. I couldn't believe the calorie and fat content of some of these items!! Some of those dishes contain enough calories for a whole day and enough fat for two or three days. Is there any question left as to why Americans have so many health problems??

Considering Organic

I have been doing research for a while now on organic foods. I have always considered organic to be more beneficial to one's health, but I didn't realize just how much healthier it can be. This article talks about incredibly high percentage of flavo-noids in organic tomatoes in comparison with commercially grown varieties.

Also, in an article titled The Results Are In: Organic Foods More Nutritious Than Conventional Foods , author Katherine East discusses a study performed by Newcastle University that reveals even more evidence to support the claim that organic truly is the best option.

Organic produce contains up to 40% more antioxidants than ordinary produce and organic dairy products contain between 50% and 80% higher antioxidant levels. That and the fact that the U.S. uses a growth hormone called rBGH (which has been baned in Europe, Australia, Japan, and Canada...just to name a few) in cows raised for dairy production is enough to make me want to steer away from some of those convenient, mass-production (focus is put on quantity, not quality) foods.

Organic foods (can) cost more, yes, but in the long run I believe it is worth it. It makes so much sense really. If we go around changing the genetics and structure of God's perfect creation, we can only expect that we will get less than wonderful results.
