The Real Truth behind Organic Foods 2 Comments
Many people are unaware of what organic food really is. It seems that everywhere we go now, someone is promoting something that is “organic”. Are these foods worth your time and money?
It almost seems like some people are afraid of organic food. Could this be possible? Are people afraid that eating one morsel of organic food is going to somehow instantly initiate them into the organic food cult where you’re only allowed to wear sandals made from tree bark and deodorant is prohibited?
I swear I have had people say to me “Well, you can’t be that organic because you wear make-up and you don’t smell.”
What? That’s not what organic means at all! All it means is that the food or the product has been grown the way mother nature intended: without the use of chemicals, pesticides, herbicides and fungicides. In other words, naturally!
Are some people afraid of the price? Organic does not automatically mean “break the bank”. Many times when I compare the price of the organic food versus the conventional food, they are only a few cents different. In the case of the bag of organic carrots I bought today for my lunch, they were the exact same price as the conventional ones. Imagine that!
If anything about the word “organic” makes you want to jump and run the other way, be sure to read my previous blog post “Is there such a thing as Cheap Organic Food?”
It will help you understand exactly why organic food is all the rave these days and what you can do to make organic living easy, simple and not so scary!

I checked out the link to the C.H.E.K Institute, that’s in the back of the CodeoftheNatural E-book, some time ago.
I came across Paul’s lecture on Nutrition the Dirt Facts (on youtube), and it absolutely astounded me.
I’ve been on a purely organic diet for some time now, and it’s had an impact on my health, on so many levels.
I’ve also taken up drinking filtered water, and I put a high quality filter on the shower head.
I’ve taken other recommendations from Paul Chek’s books, The Last 4 Doctors, and How to Eat, Move, and Be Healthy.
Things like not using commercial alcohol based deodorant’s, and personal hygiene products, at night before bedtime.
And reducing my exposure to light sources prior to bedtime, allowing my natural bio-rythms to adapt to proper sleep patterns.
I now see my lifestyle choices in a more Holistic light, and avoid anything that could possibly place any sort of stress on my ANS.
If anyone is still on the fence about organic/ free-range food, they should head over to PaulChekLive at Youtube, and watch Nutrition:The Dirt Facts.
If that doesn’t convince you, nothing will.
It takes CodeoftheNatural to a whole ‘nother level
