Plan An Organic Weekend

Federal subsidies on things like soybeans and corn—used in cheap feed for livestock and high-fructose corn syrup, respectively—means that America can product a lot of mono-crops, which benefit the big corporations that produce high-volume food but don’t do much for our environment, or our health. The bad news is that because of this practice, most of us are carrying around a whole lotta toxins from chemically grown and processed foods, many of which have been linked to health problems. The good news is studies have shown that eating USDA Certified Organic for just a few days can flush most of them out! So plan an all-organic weekend—even two days make things better for you, the farmers, and the Earth.
