The general opinion is that organic products are usually bought within supermarkets or retail stores. This isn’t always the case though, as some cafés and restaurants also serve organic food and drink. Café’s usually sell organic products such as baguettes, milkshakes and cheeses.

Restaurants usually have organic food in their side menu orders, but main dishes can also be bought, more often than not in the vegetarian section of the menus. Organic foods are also on sale on internet sites such as supermarket online shopping, which, if the customer spends enough money, can redeem points against them, thus saving money.

Organic lifestyle is a way of living some people choose to go by. It is environmentally helpful and healthy for the individual. Organic foods aren’t sprayed with pesticides and are as such healthier for the customer. They also are cropped better than normal food products.

Being organic means being proactive, so recycling, looking after yourself and the state of your home could be known as being ‘organic’. People who drink water through a filtered system (i.e. a water dispenser unit) are drinking better water, as some of the chemicals found in unfiltered water are gone. Most people can afford to live an organic lifestyle.

Organic foods are healthier and, according to some, better tasting than non-organic foods. Of course, with greater goods, there usually comes a greater price, and in this instance, that is the case. Almost all organic products are more expensive than non-organic products. Not only is the price more expensive, but the packaging and product display is also more expensive.

For a good product to sell, it has to have a good display, and organic foods all have a modern, more classy look than non-organic foods. Of course, it isn’t just organic food that is more expensive, but organic drinks, milk and non food products also have a larger price tag.

With organic foods being bought by people with better paid jobs, supermarkets have replied by selling a line of products a lot cheaper, for people who cannot afford organic food. These lines of food have very simple deigns compared to organic food designs. Each supermarket has its own name for the cheap lines of food, including: Tesco/Tesco Value and Sainsbury’s/Sainsbury’s basics.

The quality of food is questionable, but it is healthy enough, and a lot cheaper than a lot of the organic food. The only downside to these cheaper food lines is the design of the product, and according to some, the taste of the product.

When shopping at major retailers, there is many brands in which a customer may pick from to help satisfy their needs. One of the most popular organic food groups is fruit and vegetables. There are many food types in fruit and vegetables which sell well, which include: carrots, broccoli, cabbage, potato’s, tomatoes, oranges and bananas.

The most popular of the lot, though, would be apples. The reason being, is that there is a variety in the type and texture of the apple which can’t be got through others of its food type. The most popular apple choice is the braeburn apple.

When some people think of organic food, they think it’s boring, or posh or unnecessary. Springwatch presenter Kate Humble reckons it’s possible to turn people not relabelling organic produce but by branding non-organic produce as “wildlife unfriendly” instead.

If there was more awareness placed on how intensive cows are farmed for milk in an ever demanding economy, people may just help support organic food and the animals that produce it. She claims that if 5% of the population converts to organic milk, costing just an extra pound a week, then there would be an extra 52,000 acres of organic land – that’s the size of Greater Birmingham. This would help create better landscapes, healthier, happier cows, and humans!

Zac Goldsmith, a conservative MP for Richmond Park proposes to spend some of the annual budget used by schools, NHS and cars homes on farming local, organically produced and sustainable food. The plan is to kickstart healthier habits by rolling out these changes throughout the country.

Currently, there is an annual budget of £2bn spent on food and Goldsmith wishes more to be spent on food and produce that has been grown locally, organically and which meets welfare standards. Applying this force could see positive benefits not least by supporting British farmers and improving the food we intake everyday by ensuring produce is fresh, but by reducing ‘food-miles’ of imported foods from countries afar.

If you’re keen to extend your organic living across the family and for the new addition then why not look into organic baby clothing. Several organic baby fashion boutiques have popped up online that provide fairtrade clothing made from organic cotton, with a wide range of vivid colours dyed using eco friendly dyes.

Not only are there baby clothing made from organic cotton, but look out for bamboo items of clothing, including trousers, t-shirts and pyjamas. Bamboo is 65% more absorbent than regular cotton and is great for keeping the body warm. Another great feature is that clothing made from bamboo is as smooth as silk and hypoallergenic so it’s perfect for sensitive skin.

A study undertaken by Newcastle University have discovered that when wild birds were given both conventional wheat seed and organic wheat seed, they chose the conventional seeds. They say one likely explanation is that the non-organic seeds are packed with protein which is an essential nutrient to birds and mammals alike.

Birds in particular require extra protein in the cold, winter months. The University say that this will pique the interests of organic foodies who insist that organic food is far superior. An argument against this however is that organic foodstuff have not been contaminated with pesticides and fertilizers which may well cause long term damage to our healths.

A study undertaken by Newcastle University showed that there were higher levels of vitamins, healthy fatty acids and antioxidants in organic milk than regular milk. The level of a particular fatty acid known for reducing the risk of heart diseases was up to 60% higher.

The result of such dramatic differences are down to the cow’s intake of food; the higher the grass content in its diet, the better quality milk it produces. However, at 10p more per pint of milk, consumers are not rushing to reap the organic milk’s benefits. Pricing aside, if we were all to switch over to organic milk, there just wouldn’t be enough to go around.
