6 surprising reasons to go organic
6. You delight in variety.
Another personal reason I buy organic: the experience, especially when shopping with my kids. They’re young and still figuring out what they like (and don’t like) about food, and it’s delightful to explore the produce aisle with them as they pester me with questions. This year they even brought home a nice juicy organic jicama for Mother’s Day.
Food diversity pleases adults, too; if you get locked into eating one type of tomato and just the basic russet potato, you’re bound to get bored. Organic farmers offer the chance to expand your culinary horizons and to tap into your inherent curiosity and creativity—which leads to a joy in simple, good, healthy foods. And that, to me, is a huge part of what organic is all about.
