May the Force---I mean, Farm Be With You! Are you a “Star Wars” fan? Well, by now, if you are a “Star Wars” fan, (like everyone in my family), you have been to the theater and have seen Star Wars: Episode III: Revenge of the Sith. But, have you been to www.storewars.org and seen Store Wars: Episode: Contacting the Organic Rebellion? If you haven’t yet seen this great short internet flash movie produced by the Organic Trade Association, click the link now and take a stress-relief break out of your day. You will really enjoy it, and may even learn something about the benefits of choosing organic foods. After the movie, stay at the site and learn the “Ways of the Farm. ” I did and here’s a sampling of what I learned:

The Organic Trade Association suggests choosing organic products to minimize exposure to Persistent Organic Pollutants (POP’s). Studies have shown that U.S. consumers can experience up to 70 daily exposures to residues from POP’s through their diets. The use of POP’s is forbidden in organic agriculture. Consumers can reduce their exposure to POP’s by purchasing the organic alternatives to the Top TEN foods found most likely to be contaminated with POP’s: 1) butter, 2) cantaloupe, 3) cucumbers/pickles, 4) meatloaf, 5) peanuts, 6) popcorn, 7) radishes, 8) spinach, 9) summer squash, & 10) winter squash.

In addition, selecting organic fruits and vegetables can be a sensible choice, since studies have found that conventionally grown fresh produce is three to four times more likely to contain one or more pesticides than organic produce. Government tests show that conventional apples, pears, peaches, nectarines, strawberries, cherries, celery, spinach and sweet bell peppers are the foods most likely to be contaminated with one or more pesticides. Choosing organically grown fruits and vegetables can significantly decrease the frequency and level of dietary exposure to pesticides.

MAY THE FARM BE WITH YOU!
