1. It tastes great: Many people claim that organic fruits and vegetables have a fuller taste, which could be due to their reduced water content, as they are grown more slowly.

2. It’s healthy: Many organic foods contain higher levels of vitamins and essential minerals, such as calcium.

3. No additives: No trans-fats, no monosodium glutamate, no aspartame, all of which have been linked to health problems.

4. No pesticides: Pesticides have long been known to be extremely harmful to us, and to present severe health risks. They have also been linked to the development of cancer.

5. GM-free: To be certified organic, foods cannot contain any genetically-modified organisms.

6. No drugs: Animals are not injected with any growth hormones or antibiotics, which have been linked to bacterial resistance in humans.

7. No hidden costs: Compared with all the money spent to detoxify drinking water, as a result of pesticide-use.

8. High standards: Organic food producers are under strict regulations.

9. Care for animals: Organic farm systems have the highest levels of animal welfare standards to make sure animals are treated humanely at all times.

10. Good for wildlife and the environment: Since no pesticides are used, organic foods do not release any harmful gases, sprays and waste into the air.
