3. Are the organic products healthier than nor organic?

Among the most remarkable benefits we can find, these are the following:

No intake of agrochemicals: It is a barbarity of all the agrochemicals that are thrown into agricultural products, and with the consumption of organic products we prevent them from finally reaching our bodies.
Care for the environment: By not using agrochemicals that harm nature, we are protecting it.
Local economy: If we consume organic products from local producers, we will develop our local economy and thus the big cities that create big social differences and absorption of smaller towns and cities.

5. Opinions on organic products

The general opinion on organic products is very good throughout Spain and Europe. With the emergence of rare diseases and the lesser contact with nature, this rise of the bio is causing as a consequence.

Also, organic food from our point of view is an antithesis to industrial and processed food. At the same time, it seeks the elimination of chemicals that can remain or be absorbed by food.

However, another philosophy is now emerging, which has gone hand in hand with bio products, which is that of real food. All of them are looking for a healthy diet that frees us from industrial products

• Some nonsense

Finally, it is worth mentioning some nonsense, such as putting the ecological before the fresh and natural. An example of this would be to put the organic label before the honey, regardless of whether it is pasteurized or not. Or an organic oil that is not fresh.

We also want to mention about organic cosmetics. In many places they sell you with the organic seal, but there is no body that certifies that the cosmetics are organic. The only thing you can confirm is that they use organic ingredients.

In short, it is better to look for products that are fresh than organic. Although the ideal is to have both, organic and fresh. In addition, we have to make sure that they are not highly industrialised organic products. It makes little sense to look for health in organic products and then have them processed.

• Prices

Organic products have a more artisanal means of production and in many cases, the process is more artisanal, the prices are always somewhat higher than the rest of the conventional products. Likewise, cheap chemical methods are substituted by other biological and natural methods which are much more expensive.

In summary, following an ecological lifestyle, has to go beyond buying natural products, has to be directed to take care of our nature, and avoid in consumption to throw away use.

• Upward trend

According to statistics, consumption of organic products is on the rise. For this reason, it will be increasingly easy to find organic products.
