\nMany Americans who try to become more health conscious start by buying more organic foods.\u00a0 There is a lot of hype in the United States these days about the difference between organic (foods that are made in a way that limits the use of synthetic chemicals during production) and non-organic (conventionally grown and produced food that may have been grown using pesticides and other chemicals to increase growth) foods.\u00a0 All types of food in the United States come in both organic and non-organic forms, including: snacks, meats, milk products, fruits, and vegetables.\u00a0 There are often aisles of food in large groceries stores just selling organic foods.\u00a0 There are also whole grocery stores that specialize in organic and healthy food, for example the store Whole Food Market<\/a> or Trader Joe’s<\/a>.\u00a0 If you start buying organic food in the United States one of the first differences you will notice between organic and non-organic foods, is the price.\u00a0 Organic food is generally much more expensive than non-organic food.<\/p>\n

\nFor many Americans buying all organic food at the grocery store is too expensive, but buying some of their food at a local farmer\u2019s market is possible and also a healthy move.\u00a0 Farmer\u2019s markets are small-scale markets where various farmers and local food producers sell their food for a few hours once a week.\u00a0 Farmer\u2019s markets are often held in parks or parking lots, with food set up on tables that people can walk around and look at.\u00a0 They are temporary in nature and not held in the same location every day.\u00a0 Although the produce and other foods sold at farmer\u2019s markets may be a little more expensive than the grocery store, this food is often organic and less expensive than buying organic food in the grocery store.\u00a0 Also buying at a farmer\u2019s market helps a local farmer stay in business and it guarantees fresh food.<\/p>\n
\nThe only way to get fresher cheaper organic healthy food other than going to a farmer\u2019s market, is to grow the food one\u2019s self.\u00a0 There is actually a movement in the United States to get people to grow more food themselves in home gardens (www.homefarming.com<\/a>).\u00a0\u00a0 In the past many Americans kept home gardens, but this tradition died out in mainstream American culture for many decades as farming became a large-scale industry, but home gardening is now having resurgence.\u00a0 Even the First Family of the United States, the Obama\u2019s, have a home garden.\u00a0 You can watch a video about the making of this garden at this link: www.whitehouse.gov\/blog\/The-Story-of-the-White-House-Garden<\/a>.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/31\/2012\/05\/food.jpg\")
