Eating Organic

Whether it's for everyones health , fitness or spirituality, we 're looking for special foods like organic meat, gluten-free pasta and kosher cheese. Some diets, such as kosher, date back centuries. Many of them are more recent, though, as a consequence of technological developments in disease control and genetic engineering impacting our food chain. Fad diets of the 20th century, such as the Grapefruit Diet, the Cabbage Soup Diet, the Scarsdale Diet, the Zone Diet and the Atkins Diet, have all long since passed. But the Kosher Diet has endured for thousands of years, and two current trends, have remained strong-Organic Food and Gluten-Free.



Eating organic ensures consuming fruits and vegetables that have been grown not using artificial chemicals and preventing meat or dairy products from livestock that have been given inorganic feed or have been exposed to large doses of antibiotics or growth hormones. People who consume healthy food often reject foods that have been genetically engineered. Certified organic produce has a conspicuous mark on the labeling, USDA Organic in the USA or a green triangle with a flag consisting of stars in the EU.



Eathing Gluten-Free involves removing the gluten of wheat from one's diet. Books have been written about how scientists have changed the genetics of the wheat plant over time, so that the DNA of wheat has become almost unrecognizably distinct from its original code. The most fervent proponents of a gluten-free diet claim that wheat gluten is now harmful to human health. Many others claim that it is unpleasant and difficult to digest, leading to obesity and conditions such as irritable bowel syndrome. Aside from speculation, there are millions of people with complete intolerance to gluten-a condition called celiac disease.
