Friends of Farmer has grown on the principles of health, ecology, and care. We believe in working with a large number of accredited farmers who do not use or promote the use of pesticides and genetically modified seeds to grow their produce. We aim to give our customers a healthy chemical-free meal for the perfect nutrition.
‘We are what we eat’ is saying that what we choose to eat is who we are.
Our modern diet has become more and more intolerable to our natural state of being, where many illnesses and dis-eases in the body are coming from what we eat and our general lifestyle.
We call ourselves the most intelligent species on earth, yet what we eat is not always what our body is asking for.
Could we as humans learn from the animal kingdom who respect their body and only eat what they need and never more?
We have become a nation who indulges in excess on foods and in particular those that are deeply harmful to our body.
Most fruits and vegetables are loaded with essential nutrients that are good for your body and mind. However, commercial demands and competition in the market often make farmers use fertilizers and pesticides in order to increase their yield.
According to nutritionist Naini Setalvad, ‘Today growth hormones are injected in fruits, vegetables, pulses, poultry and meat to make them larger and plumper. Humans are consuming these products thereby eating these chemicals too. Research has documented and proven that these hormones and chemicals are what are causing the humungous (obesity) sizes in people today. The chemicals and the preservatives are the cause of psychological disorders, depression, mood swings, hyper activity and irritability that have now become a common phenomenon. Infertility in men, problems in conceiving, early puberty among children as young as eight is another by product of consuming such foods.’
It is difficult, if not impossible for us to stand up and fight against such unhealthy practices adopted by farmers. But, that doesn’t mean we have to continue eating foods laced with pesticides. Organic farming is taking the country by storm and more and more people are choosing to eat organically grown foods. Let’s learn more about the process of organic farming and why it is healthier than conventional food.
How is organic farming done?
Simply put, organic farming is done without using fertilizers and pesticides. Instead, alternative farming practices like crop rotation, use of green and animal manure, etc. are employed. Read more about how pesticides are harmful for you.
Why is organic food healthier than normally produced food?
According to nutritionist Naini Setalvad, ‘An organic diet is not just about nutrition, it is the Art of Eating it reflects your attitude to life and to the world, because good food sustains life-bad food kills. For healthy growth, we need PURE food. Organic food is safe, pure, more nutritious, environment friendly, protects against diseases and maintains peace of mind. A pure diet fosters purity of mind, body and soul. the first advice is ‘to keep the body in good health is a duty, for otherwise we shall not be able to trim the lamp of wisdom and keep our mind strong and clear’.
How can I confirm that food is pure?
