Of course, I'm not alone. Typist: Bethany
Eating healthy human food and feeding high quality canine nutrition is a constant learning process. I have been eating organic for almost two decades but I recently learned things I didn't know about USDA Organic Certification. Before sharing our survey about organic pet food in October, I thought GMO's were allowed into foods labeled USDA Organic. I was also embarrassed about the emphasis I put on eating only organic human food but that I don't honestly always feed organic dog food and organic cat food. The importance that so many people put on pet food that is made with love in the US was also been a recent eye opener for me. So when I first saw the survey results infographic, I breathed a little sigh of relief. It is always comforting to know that I am not alone.

The one shock I got from the survey results is the low percentage of people who responded that organic matters because it is better for the environment. However the highest percentages of responders appreciate pesticide and hormone free food. Less pesticides and hormones in what we eat, humans and pets, is indeed a good thing. Yet less chemicals in the environment does, in the end, mean less pesticides and hormones are consumed by those of us who eat and feed organic labeled foods and even by those who don't. Wild animals don't shop for organic labels but they deserve food and water from an environment free of chemicals too. So in the end, purchasing food that is pesticide and hormone free is not only better for those eating the food but it's also best for the environment. I love win, win food!
We all love safe, clean beaches.
| It truly is wonderful to see through the "Organic: How Much Does It Matter?" infographic that so many dog and cat loving people care about organic food. I appreciate feeling less alone in the world of organic food, especially with all of the confusing organic labels and rules. I enjoy the nutritional learning process and want to continue to be on the cutting edge of the best ways to feed myself and my pets. Castor & Pollux is also committed to innovative high quality food for dogs and cats. Organic and made in the US matters but nutrition excellence doesn't end there. Ingredients like ORGANIX Dog Food, #1 ingredient of free-range chicken and natural sources of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and fiber through added organic brown rice, fresh organic fruit and vegetable purées make a significant difference in a foods nutritional value. Better nutrition is what we all want, for ourselves and our pets. So we keep on learning. I better keep working on feeding my busy brain good food so I can continue to educate myself on feeding my pets only the best too. |  Please grab and share the "Organic" infographic; it can help to educate others!
