The Organic Craze


Organic isn’t just a label for fruits and vegetables.  Now-a-days we are seeing organic products everywhere.  There is organic clothing, sheets, bedding, mattresses, skincare product, and even organic furniture.  So how can so many products be classified under the same definition.  

Organic simply means that the product was produce without the use of pesticides, synthetic fertilizer, sewage sludge, radiation, or growth hormones.  Organic clothing is manufactured in compliance with the USDA organic agricultural standards.  Some of the various materials organic clothing may be composed of are cotton, jute, silk, ramie, or wool.

It is important to know that there has yet to be any definitive research that shows that organic is more nutritious or beneficial to our overall health.  Some people feel that organic clothing is a good alternative for people who are allergic to the chemicals found in clothes. What influences a person’s decision to buy organic is based on their preference and environmental philosophy.
