3.0 out of 5 stars Going Organic, January 11, 2005

This review is from: Transition into Organic Foods (Hardcover)

TRANSITION INTO ORGANIC FOODS is predicated on the belief that a diet grounded in organic foods is essential in helping the body's defenses ward off disease and promote optimal health. The author makes a good argument for switching to organic foods by explaining how conventional foods are grown in soil laced with pesticides and other detrimental chemicals. Organic crops on the other hand are grown in a chemical free environment and livestock are treated humanely and raised without chemical or hormonal enhancements. She points out that if livestock is treated with antibiotics the meat is no longer considered organic.

TRANSITION INTO ORGANIC FOODS explains that there is also a difference between organic versus natural foods and as a bonus includes the author's favorite recipe for organic oatmeal cookies. A grocery list is included to help the reader see the variety of organic food choices available and resources are also provided to help locate organic food markets. The book concludes with a survey which encourages readers to try out different organic fruits and rate them.

TRANSITION INTO ORGANIC FOODS is a compelling fact-based read which is written in a simple, easy to understand format, that guides the reader
to a better understanding of the basic differences between conventional, organic and natural foods. With its decidedly appetizing cover design, this book is best suited for readers interested in changing their eating habits.

This review is from: Transition into Organic Foods (Hardcover)

This very informative, concise book answered many important questions regarding my daily diet. For example: "... so is that why many of the fresh fruits I used to enjoy on a regular basis are causing an allergic reaction?" This book points out the problems, explains the "why's" and offers easy steps to follow to reach a realistic solution on how to improve what you eat. I am glad I read it and will use the recommended grocery-shopping tips for my next visit to one of the recommended grocery stores!

This review is from: Transition into Organic Foods (Hardcover)

I learned so much about organic foods in this easy-to-read book. I was especially intrigued about the difference between how conventional foods are grown as opposed to how organic foods are grown. After reading that, I'm really hesitant to continue eating conventional foods. Rachel Valentin did a great job with this book!
