Organic Foods

Published: Nov. 10, 2019, 7:06 p.m.

Have you ever purchased an organic apple and thought to yourself... what does organic mean?\xa0I've heard it's healthier, but I don't know what it means. Also, why is it more expensive than a non organic apple?

In this episode of the Howard's Blend Podcast we're going to focus on...

  • What is the definition of an organic food or product?
  • What criteria must different foods meet in order to be considered organic?
  • How does the United States Federal Government play a role in the Organic Food Industry.
  • Are organic foods healthier for you?
  • Are there any downsides to organic foods?
  • Finally, I go over my thoughts on this topic.
