Why Should Your Child Settle For Anything Less Than Organic Baby Food?

Author: Virginia Louise


Organic baby food is something that has been rising and rising in popularity all throughout the recent years.

General reports in the press seem to add weight to this argument in that many questions are being raised about the contents and additives being added to our food nowadays.

Why are people so keen to try out organic food?

The whole concept of eating organically is nothing new in fact.

If you venture back 50 years or so before the popularity of chemicals then every product was organic by default.

Simply put anything that is non-organic is something that has had artificial chemicals added to it to increase productivity.

The rise in popularity of pesticides is something that has happened fairly recently in history.

The cynical amongst us say that in order to make production profitable and to keep efficient enough to meet the increasing demands and pressures place on producers by supermarkets and their shareholders, pesticides and chemicals have become a must have.

This is in despite of questions being increasingly raised on the effect on the general health of the ultimate consumer.

When you transfer this thinking to babies and their delicate systems you can see why many parents are taking time to investigate the organic baby food ranges that their local supermarket has to offer.

But it is not just food that has been recognised as a potential negative on baby's health it is also the clothes they wear and the products used to make the things that surround them.

Think about what chemicals are being added to shampoos, clothes and linen these are the more hidden areas that can be easy to overlook and be just as harmful particularly for a baby.

All of this sounds horrific and it is but it is something that the ordinary consumer can do a lot about - the so called voting by your feet method.

Avoiding products with questionable origins and constituents is easy with a little education and organic baby food is a good place to start.
