To stay alive, we must keep our bodies fuelled up by taking in nourishment in the form of food and drink. Much of the debate in today’s society centers about how we actually meet our fuel input needs and are some of those ways doing us more harm than good? This usually boils down to the question about which is “best” for us –organic food or non-organic?
A Bit Of A Misnomer
Animal flesh and plant produce are our main staples when it comes to food and all of it is organic; which basically means that nature has grown it from the basic chemical building blocks of hydrogen and carbon with some oxygen, nitrogen and other trace elements thrown in. If the feed that a plant or animal has grown on is totally organic in nature then food from that source can be said to be organically grown. However, if chemicals and compounds not normally found in the natural setting are added to the soil for plants or the feed for animals; then the end product that we eat cannot be said to be organically grown.
What Constitutes Organic Growing
Plants that grow in soil that is rich in dead and decaying plant detritus should thrive and will be entirely natural; animals that eat those plants (including human animals) will be sharing nature’s goodness – as will carnivorous animals that feed on the plant eaters. In the wild, it can be something of a hit and miss procedure as to whether or not the natural soil contains all the elements needed for good plant growth.
Once mankind “discovered” farming; we have given much thought over ways and means to improve the quality of the soils where we grow our plants. Animal wastes that we “muck-out” from stables and cowsheds can be good soil fertilizers; as can plant waste itself – stems or outer leaves and skins as well as cooked but not eaten vegetables can all be returned to the soil to feed new plants; we call this composting.
