Why Should We Eat Organic Food?

As you know, Big Daddy Pizza in Herndon uses 100% organic ingredients, and we'd like to share with you the benefits of eating organic food.

So first of all, what is organic food? Organic Food is food that has been grown using only natural means. That means no Genetically Modified Organisms, or GMOs.

What are GMOs? They are plants or animals whose DNA has been altered in some way by scientists.

The intention may be good, but these products have undergone only short-term testing to determine their effects on the human body.

We don't know what the long-term effects of GMOs are, and what we do know about it the short-term effects is alarming. For example, we know that exposure to pesticides at a young age can cause developmental delays, behavioral functions, and motor dysfunction (source: Organic Foods: Understanding Organic Food...).

We also know that organic foods are better for the environment. Exposure to synthetic pesticides can make it harder for creatures to reproduce or even kill them. Organic farming practices are not to use pesticides, but rather to use natural methods such as good insects, birds, and traps.

For these reasons more and more people are choosing not to allow themselves be the guinea pigs of GMO companies like Monsanto. People are starting to look to restaurants who use 100% organic ingredients. Restaurants like Big Daddy Pizza in Herndon, VA are doing just that - serving yummy pizzas, subs and wings, using 100% organic ingredients. Every sauce, every chicken wing, every pepperoni, even the dough, is organic.
