There is a way to balance organic foods advantages and disadvantages. In order to reap the benefits, but eliminate the negative aspects eat organic and shop local. Buy produce and other products at local farmers markets. By buying local, you know your purchase was not carried hundreds of miles in a gas-guzzling truck. Also, local farmers tend to have very reasonable prices without the cost of a middle-man. Talk to the people who grow the food, and learn about their sustainable methods, support them, and enjoy the fruits of their labor.
