Cooking Nice

Organic food stores are a novelty if we are to consider the evolution of food production over the years. At the beginning of the 20th century the higher need for food led to the creation of artificial means of making the land more fertile and crops more profitable, which opened the door for pesticides, fertilizers and the rest of the chemicals. Hunger could have been eliminated for good in the new context of agricultural production. Well, a century after the beginning of modern farming, agriculture aims at redefining itself by getting back to the natural all over again.

Fruits and vegetables look great, chicken breast is large, but there is little flavor in this over-grown food. Was this the fertility dream that the pioneers of modern farming aimed to fulfill? Or was it just a pursuit of wealth? No matter the situation, there is a growing trend of returning to traditional farming, and the products of small family businesses that  start to grow locally, are sold and promoted in organic food stores all over the world. Organic food is making waves worldwide in dire contrast with the chemical-saturated items from non-organic crops.

Organic food stores are far from dominating the market. Organic food comes for a higher price, it is harder to get and not everyone knows enough about it. However, the collective mentality begins to change if we judge by the increasing diversity of organic food stores and the higher number of clients. We may witness changes in the production of organic food in the near future. A decline in quality could easily follow given the extent to which mankind has developed demographically.

It is not difficult to picture what would happen if half the world’s population started buying food from organic food stores exclusively. There would be a food crisis because of the discrepancy between the capacity to produce food and the massive demands. Therefore, non-organic food is still a necessity that is not likely to vanish overnight. Most people tend to buy food from both non-organic and organic food stores in parallel. And a fair conclusion here is that a pretty healthy mentality is to limit the intake of very unbalanced products that rely on food additives, colorants, sugar and saturated fats, and focus on fresh food instead.
