An organic

miracle

You may be interested in my

Dad's amazing story. Diagnosed

with liver cancer in summer

2002, he was given approx-

imately 12 months of good

health. Chemotherapy would

not get rid of the disease - only

delay it spreading. This seemed

like the only option until some

friends informed him of The

Nutritional Cancer Therapy

Trust (NCTT). Basically, this diet

consists of organic fruit and

vegetables, brown rice and

various supplements. He started

the diet in October 2002 and in

January 2003, a CT scan showed

quite a reduction in the size of

the liver metastases. A further

scan in July 2003 showed no

sign of the tumour at all!! He

had another scan in January

2004 and again there was still

no sign. We strongly believe that

this was due to the organic diet

and nutritional therapy outlined

by the NCTT. This year he will be

continuing with the organic diet

but may introduce meat, fish and

dairy produce.

Rabbit runs

on organic

I have been eating organic food

for a long while now and my

daughter even feeds her rabbit

organic carrots. Once, when she

gave it a non-organic one, the

rabbit picked up the carrot in its

mouth and threw it to the other

end of the cage. There you go,

even the animals know; Why is

man so stupid? And greedy.

Mrs JM Russell, West Sussex

Numerous published animal

feeding trials show that, given

the choice, animals prefer organic

feed. Evidence is also emerging

of animals avoiding GM food.

Hi shug

I try and ensure 50% of my shopping each week is organic, however it's bloody expensive buying organic, my shopping bill increases by a third, I know it's better for you but it is bloody expensive, maybe if more people brought organic then it would come down in price a bit.

Organic spending grows

By Farmers Weekly staff

MORE THAN £1.12bn was spent on organic food in the UK last year, according to new research. Five years ago the figure was £384m, The Daily Telegraph reports.

But the market survey, carried out by Mintel, also showed that one-third of consumers are reluctant to buy organic products because of their price.

According to the paper, organic food is typically 20-30% more expensive than non-organic food, and for meat the difference in price can be even greater.

Only one in four of the consumers surveyed thought it worthwhile paying extra for organic produce.

Michelle Strutton, Mintel's senior consumer analyst, told the Daily Telegraph that the real value of organic food needs to be addressed.

"Either the price of organic food needs to come down or people need to understand why it is worth paying more for organic foods," Ms Strutton said.

"If this is not done, the price is going to become more of a barrier to market growth."

The Mintel study revealed that British men are the most unwilling among male consumers in Europe to pay extra for organic food.

-and yet the same people who grizzle about the premium are exactly the ones who'll fill their baskets with "added value" foods at prices several times that of the staple ingredient, along with a shedload of chemicals!
