This blog is dedicated to organic food and fair trade food
I haven't always been into organic and fairtrade food. I guess it all started off when I spent a year abroad. I was on a limited budget and noticed that I couldn't buy the things I used to eat back home. They were just too expensive. Since I had to eat something if I didn't want to starve, I looked for other places and other types of food. Not the big supermarkets with frozen pizza and other oven ready meals were on my menu but fresh vegetables and fruit. I started buying at a local produce market. The meals were cheaper, and they tasted so much better. There was no way I would turn back to artificial flavors and precooked food.

I got really into organic food and fairtrade food. I now watch a lot of documentaries on these issues. I don't want people to get paid next to nothing for the hard work they do on the fields. And I absolutely disagree with child labor. If I can make a difference when buying fairtrade products, then this is what I do. Most fairtrade food products are organic. So, you get 2 in 1. Isn't that great?
I even have my own garden now where I can grow lots of fruit and vegetables. Organic (what else). I can't wait for this year's harvest. |
