Why is Organic Food Essential for the Future of America?

Across the country, millions of families struggle daily with behavioral, physical, and mental health issues with their children and family members. Over 30% of young couples are bereft because they cannot conceive. One out of two men and one out of two women are expected to get cancer. One in three Americans have fatty liver disorders. I could list the deeply disturbing statistics for days…but you don’t have to look any further, really, than your family members. Every family in America is impacted today by cancer, heart disease, autism, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, IBS, Crohn’s disease, autoimmune disorders, diabetes, obesity, or reproductive and mental health issues. We are in a health crisis. What do all these conditions have in common?

They can all be caused and exacerbated by agrochemicals in the conventional food supply.

The parents who have figured this out and feed their children organic, as featured in numerous books and films such as Jeffery Smith and Amy Hart’s movie Secret Ingredients, see the recovery within days, weeks, or months.

The answer to our health crisis is organic food, food grown without genetically modified organisms, harmful pesticides, herbicides, and fungicides, and with careful attention to the integrity of the growing process. Ideally, organic food is also grown regeneratively, with cover crops and animals grazing, to build organic matter in the soil and increase nutrient density. Also, ideally, farmers would test their fertilizer sources for heavy metals and monitor these toxins.
