Why Eat Organic? Dr. Weil and The Organic Center VIP's explain

Melissa McGinnis attends The Organic Center's 7th annual VIP dinner in Anaheim CA, and chats with Dr. Weil, Anthony Zolezzi, Waylon Lewis, Marilu Henner, Gary Hirshberg and other VIP's about the science behind organic food production and why it is so important for our health and the health of the planet to choose organic.

For individuals and families seeking high nutritional value and reduced risk of exposure to the toxins associated with factory farming practices, organic offers peace of mind.

A commitment to choosing local and regionally produced foods is a core value of the organic movement. In addition to fresher foods and reduced fossil fuel consumption, the profit from the sale of locally produced foods is more likely to find its way back into the community. Consumers and family farmers working together to support such local systems form a sustainable partnership.

Organic farming methods are helping to heal our earth by returning vitality and nutrients to the soil and keeping air and water safe from pollution caused by toxic pesticides and herbicides. Eating organic food is a great way to protect the environment.

The Organic Center's mission is to:

"To generate credible, peer reviewed scientific information and communicate the verifiable benefits of organic farming and products to society."
