When mentioning the word "organic", many people immediately connect it with organic food. In fact, organic living or organic lifestyle is not limited to that alone. Like what organic lifestyle?
Unhealthy lifestyle seems to have become close friends today's society. Patterns of food for example. Today many foods that contain chemicals. Various chemicals added to food for a variety of interests, from the look, add color, to strengthen the flavor.
This phenomenon is what led to the emergence of various diseases edges. Not only fast food, any food, such as fruits and vegetables, many are contaminated with chemicals. Do not believe? Look at Christopher Emille survey Jayanata, Chairman of the Community Organic Indonesia, quite astonishing. Results of a survey conducted in the area Garut, Dieng, Malang, and some other agricultural regions revealed that the use of chemical pesticides is 12 times more than before.
Over the years the 12-fold dose administered, pests can survive. Not to mention that is sprayed on plants not only pesticides, but also adhesive type bleach, hormones, or roughly there are 5 types of chemicals. When we try to farmers ask is there any of them who want to eat what they grow, it turns out none of them wanted.
According to Christopher, the peasants eat from the vegetables grown in his backyard.
They raise rabbits, goats, and chickens and make their own fertilizer for the crops to be consumed. Not to mention the ranch. Where the use of antibiotics is also increasingly prevalent in Indonesia alone.
In fact, the World Health Organization (WHO) last year is prohibited. When used before any ordinance 10 days after harvest, an antibiotic that is not to be used so as not to fall behind in the body of the chicken. However, in practice, this time by 99% chicken farms still using antibiotics. No wonder if the antibiotics penetrated the body of the chicken that can not be cleaned.
"Just imagine, Jakarta itself now consume as much as 1.2 million per day, while for the whole of Indonesia 15 million per day" said Christopher Emille Jayanata.
This is just talking about food, what about the household products that we use everyday. Cosmetic eg, soap, shampoo, everything is almost manufactured using ingredients that are full of chemicals. Besides being good for the skin, most are also not environmentally friendly. The impact may not be felt at this time, but the next few years will see the negative impacts. So it's no surprise that today many children met with special needs (autism) or a heart attack at a young age. This is a very common phenomenon due to chemical exposure is very high. This is the reality that must be faced by most people. There are conscious, but perhaps others do not understand at all.
Some who know still consider to meet the organic lifestyle, then it costs more expensive. The presumption is rebutted Christopher, who is also an organic chicken producer.
"Organic is not expensive, as long as we know who produces it and where to get it. Who says organic it less palatable. Fruit or vegetable that is much more palatable. Organic is natural, pure taste, "he said again.
