Question by Jackie T: What are the benefits of eating organic food?
I’ve been thinking of switching to eating organic because everyone says how healthy it is. But really, what’s so healthy about it? When you look at the back of labels of a lot of organic food, there’s so much fat, sugar, and sodium… which is NOT healthy.

So what is it? What’s so healthy or great about organic foods?

No pesticides. It’s a scam in my opinion though.

Answer by Becki
Um…just read and compare the labels of the veggie chips and a bag of the chips that you would have eaten before.

Compare the salt and calories as well as how much of each you can actually have and even the ingredients. Some so-called healthy foods have more products in them than regular foods and that’s not healthy. And some say to eat so little of them that you won’t be satisfied until you eat double, or even triple, the amount it suggests. You may be better off eating what you’d eaten before. Or the veggie chips may be the best way to go.

It’s likely that the salt used on them is either kosher or sea salt which can cause bloating in some people and is often stronger in its flavor which can result in you craving soda or sweets as they will balance the salt. And that won’t really help you in your healthy eating goals!

You don’t have to buy foods specifically labels as healthy or natural to actually be healthy. You just have to do everything in moderation and get the adequate amount of exercise to burn off those calories to maintain the weight you are at.

Q&A: How can I stop eating so much fast food and eat healthier stuff?

Question by : How can I stop eating so much fast food and eat healthier stuff?
I’m only about 10 pounds overweight, but being at a healthy weight doesn’t necessarily make you a health person.

I eat fast food almost every day.

I have 5,342 half-assed excuses for this. “I can’t cook.” “Healthy food is gross.” “I’ll eat healthier when I’m older.” “I know how many calories are in it.” But all of that sounds so stupid and I want to change it.

I tried looking at the food guide pyramid for ideas. But who can afford to buy all that stuff? Or eat “six small meals a day”? I’m in school all day, I can’t exactly sit around eating in class.

So do you have any ideas for how one could eat healthier food without endless planning and calculating and spending money and cooking?
