https://padlet.com/msfreeman75/epvz5bq5518c What are the food items that you try to always buy local or organic? (eggs? milk? meat? fresh produce?) Why?? en-us 2016-12-01 17:57:41 UTC 2016-12-08 17:30:13 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.com/msfreeman75/epvz5bq5518c/wish/141602811 The food items that we always buy organicly are our milk, produce, meats, and eggs. We do this beacause organic food has less preservatives and less chemicals which is better for us. The more fresh food we eat the better our lives well be.]]> 2016-12-04 16:10:13 UTC https://padlet.com/msfreeman75/epvz5bq5518c/wish/141602811 https://padlet.com/msfreeman75/epvz5bq5518c/wish/141631238 The food items that my family tries to buy locally include eggs, chicken and beef. Additionally, when there are farmer's markets available we try to buy produce like spinach, tomatoes, and corn locally ]]> 2016-12-04 23:02:24 UTC https://padlet.com/msfreeman75/epvz5bq5518c/wish/141631238 https://padlet.com/msfreeman75/epvz5bq5518c/wish/141634068 When we have the opportunity to buy locally we always do and for organic produce my family tends to buy organic dairy products and meats. It helps to eat organic produce for the health benefits and its positive environmental impact ]]> 2016-12-04 23:46:53 UTC https://padlet.com/msfreeman75/epvz5bq5518c/wish/141634068 https://padlet.com/msfreeman75/epvz5bq5518c/wish/141640916 When my mom goes shopping to buy organic and/or local, she usually gets eggs, cheeses, chicken, tomatoes, apples, and corn. She usually goes to the farmers markets because they have most of these things and they are also from local businesses.]]> 2016-12-05 01:38:38 UTC https://padlet.com/msfreeman75/epvz5bq5518c/wish/141640916 https://padlet.com/msfreeman75/epvz5bq5518c/wish/141738092 My family always tries to buy organic eggs, dairy, and fresh produce. My mom buys organic meat very frequently but doesn't every single time because it is more expensive. She also buys locally from the Madison farmers market as often as possible.

The reason for meats, dairy and eggs would be the concern of hormones and antibiotics that are pumped into the animals, not knowing exactly how that will affect us as humans in the future. Vegetables are another concern would be the pesticides that are sprayed on the products, worrying that these chemicals can harm us as well]]> 2016-12-08 14:04:02 UTC https://padlet.com/msfreeman75/epvz5bq5518c/wish/142542400 https://padlet.com/msfreeman75/epvz5bq5518c/wish/142542768 Organic meat is the most important to us because of animal treatment. Also theres a larger chance of contracting a virus from non organic meat. By supporting companies that raise grass fed cows it can contribute to the rise of the organic movement.]]> 2016-12-08 14:05:07 UTC https://padlet.com/msfreeman75/epvz5bq5518c/wish/142542768 https://padlet.com/msfreeman75/epvz5bq5518c/wish/142546381 We picked organic cereal as a priority purchase over conventional cereals, as cereal is something you eat on a consistent daily basis.]]> 2016-12-08 14:15:00 UTC https://padlet.com/msfreeman75/epvz5bq5518c/wish/142546381 https://padlet.com/msfreeman75/epvz5bq5518c/wish/142550171 Chicken eggs. The movie FRESH revealed that modern CAFO eggs contain less nutrients and vitamins and a higher chance of disease such as salmonella than organic eggs. In addition, many organic brands treat the chicken with less cruelty than CAFOs do. ]]> 2016-12-08 14:24:11 UTC https://padlet.com/msfreeman75/epvz5bq5518c/wish/142550171 https://padlet.com/msfreeman75/epvz5bq5518c/wish/142550321 Organic meat is more important for us to prioritize over conventional meat because conventional meats are packed with hormones and antibiotics which are that can potentially lead to health complications in the future that most conventional plants don´t have. The treatment of the animals that you get your meat from also poses an ethical issue that you don't have to deal with from a plant.]]> 2016-12-08 14:24:31 UTC https://padlet.com/msfreeman75/epvz5bq5518c/wish/142550321 https://padlet.com/msfreeman75/epvz5bq5518c/wish/142611993 We would prioritize buying organic meat over conventional meat. Conventional meat has a lot of steroids and hormones which are very bad for our health. In addition, the animals are fed sewage sludge, corn, and dead animals. But organic meat does not contain any of these, preventing the negative health impacts of conventional meats. ]]> 2016-12-08 17:00:25 UTC https://padlet.com/msfreeman75/epvz5bq5518c/wish/142611993 https://padlet.com/msfreeman75/epvz5bq5518c/wish/142612636 The organic products that we would prioritize are milk and eggs. These products are perishable and therefore need to be treated with care and raised locally. Alternative products could be from animals with hormones, pesticides, and other chemicals that could have potentially long-term effects on the health of a person.]]> 2016-12-08 17:02:21 UTC https://padlet.com/msfreeman75/epvz5bq5518c/wish/142612636 https://padlet.com/msfreeman75/epvz5bq5518c/wish/142615387 The product that we would be most willing to prioritize buying organic would be meats more specifically cow/beef.

This is because of all the antibiotics and steroids that are given to animals in that are not raised organically. Also CAFO chicken eggs are found to be less nutritious then non organic ones according to the video.]]> 2016-12-08 17:27:11 UTC https://padlet.com/msfreeman75/epvz5bq5518c/wish/142621973
