01
Because leaving out the bad stuff makes more room for the good stuff.
Research shows that organic foods are higher in antioxidants and other nutrients, like omega-3 and CLA essential fatty acids.

Because chemicals are bad for you.
Organic farmers use sustainable methods of pest-control. Non-organic farms use toxic pesticides and herbicides.
