FSA says “Organic food is no healthier than ordinary food”
The Food Standards Agency, a well-known anti-organic and pro-genetic modification organisation, has funded a study which has come to the conclusion that organic food is no better for health than ordinary food. They suggest that the findings will help people make an ‘informed choice’.
This is not a new study. Instead it is a selection of previous studies conducted over the last 50 years chosen on their relevance and quality. Only eleven studies passed the criteria. Perhaps the £120,000 of government money spent on this analysis would have been better spent on an entirely new study.
The study concentrated on nutritional differences and took no account of whether it is unhealthy to ingest pesticide residues that may be present on ordinary food.
The study has also come in for criticism from two of this countries most ‘radical’ and ‘hippy-loving’ newspapers - The Daily Mail and The Daily Telegraph. This reflects just how out-of-touch the FSA is and just how mainstream and accepted organic food is now. The articles can be read by following the links below:
I have worked in the organic industry and eaten organic food for over fourteen years. I have seen first-hand the enthusiasm people have for organic food and the benefits they believe they are receiving from it. I have no doubts in the positive benefits of organic food, both environmentally and for human health.
Most Bread is Not Fit for Vegetarians
Did you know that most bread bought in supermarkets is not vegetarian?
Industrial mass-produced bread is made using processing aids which are destroyed during the baking process. These processing aids can include enzymes from pigs and due to EU regulations it is not necessary to declare any of these processing aids on the ingredients list.
At Indigo we stock a range of breads guaranteed to be vegan. These are hand-made by Advent Bakery in Birmingham (available late Friday and Saturdays), Pauls Bakery in Melton Mowbray (Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday) and Saker Bakery in Todmorden, Lancashire (Thursday and Friday).
