On May 6, 2017, my family and I made the decision of going organic. It was a sporadic decision, but I’m glad we made it.

Prior to going organic, I was very conscientious about what I ate and drank. I haven’t touched McDonald’s or Burger King in 4 years and I’m proud. Going organic wasn’t hard for me, as I rarely, and I mean rarely, eat fast food. My family and I eat the same foods that we used to, just the organic versions of them, and they taste so much better! I wish I made this decision earlier in life.

We need to realize what you put into your body, is what you get out. If you constantly put in processed or genetically modified food (food that had been altered in any way) all you’ll get out is laziness.

There’s a lot of stereotypes surrounding those who are organic. People think that we’re annoying “tree huggers” because we choose to take care of our bodies. People say that only rich people can be organic because organic groceries are too expensive. Organic groceries and products aren’t more expensive than the others. I’ve actually found that the prices are similar, or a little cheaper. These stereotypes can go on and on.

If you’re able to go organic I think you should. It’s a decision that you will love, and your body will thank you. Don’t shame people you know for deciding to go organic.
