Hi all,

Any comments on Organic Food for a more healthy food and have higher nutrition level?

Take a visit to BMS Organics or 'Be Lohas' restaurant is under BMS too. They serve 100% organic vegetarian but the price is quite expensive. One Lei Cha cost RM13.90:)

Well, only comment is go ahead if you've got the cash to spare. It's definitely healthier, e.g. comparing a kampung egg to a broiler egg. Poor people have just gotta follow the trend of large scale chemical intensive agricultural produce.

There are organic eggs too but more expensive than kampung eggs. Foreign labourer have to buy cheap eggs and makan. Cham cham

if you have to ask, organic food contains higher amounts of natural toxic compounds produced by fungi or plants , whereas conventional food may contain more synthetic toxins from pesticide residues which can also seriously damage human health and the environment. Then again Organic food is generally more expensive than intensively-farmed food. So...you decide

sometimes i go there too, it's the only organic restaurant that i know they got interesting food.

It's funny how you realize the restaurant don't give tissue for customers to wipe mouth after meal. It's part of their policy:)

I heard organic apple seeds are real good for liver detoxify

Any 100% organic food is meant good:) Are you a vegetarian?

wow, look like most of the people support for organic food nowadays. I can proceed with my dream to open an organic shop.

Wow your dream is to open organic shop? Haha then I be your loyal customer can get privilege on special discount

anyone heard of psyllium husk?
is good for detox and good for health also...

It's good but preferably go for the natural detox way. Eat more green vegetable and fruits.

it itself is a natural detox way what...
didn't u knw? normally we mix it into fruit juice...
just not sure it is in fruit or vegetable catogory...

You mean those Detox powder form drink is natural?

Oh, that will be great. Im going to open soon. In the process now so surveying market. You want to open yourself? It will be a good idea.

Give me VVIP for all. Hehe then make my life easier:)

Haha, anyone here ever setup an organic shop?

I can help you to ask. PM me your contact

Psyllium husk is not detox powder.
It's actually a skin from some kind of seed, thus the name 'husk'.
Actually it's natural, if you have the real raw seed skin, not the kind they market as detox or beauty drink.
And the natural ones are really dirt cheap, because it's just the skin of the seed of some grass.
But if you drink raw... omg... the smell... like seed... and it's like drinking oats and peanut skins.
1 time is more than enough... ughhh...

Wow, you know anyone who want to open 1?

I do think organic food is healthier and more nutritious than non-organic food. But really the price is too expensive for average rakyat to enjoy the benefit.
I would even say that it's not really a sustainable way for the earth population to survive, we will never get enough food if everything is organic.

So personally I do not like the organic food industry to grow too much. It's like having more luxury good in the industry that poor people could never buy in their life time.

I'm going to run an Organic Store which provide Organic Food Price similar to non-organic price, affordable to customer.

Cheers.

You being serious? How do you do it.

If that's true, it'd be great. I will definitely buy if it's the same price as what you get from fresh market.

One thing about organic food, do make sure the product/vegetable packaging have certified organic logo, such as SOM, NASAA etc. Do google to learn more about the certified logo printed on the label (yes, there are fake organic as well, certified by unknown board, hint: MLM product)

As for livestock, such as chicken, until now, there is NO ORGANIC CHICKEN in Malaysia. Thus, there is no organic egg produce in Malaysia.
I've heard many people claim of organic chicken, those are actually free range chicken but cannot classified as organic. (unless you're feeding the chicken with certified organic feed)

I contacted an 'organic' chicken seller before. Asked him what type of food given to the chicken. He said feeding with feed bought from nearby commercial farm
Free range chicken is not organic chicken.

Yes, it is indeed very true. Thats the best thing about it. Hehe.

its very difficult to run organic farm thus high cost in their pricing.
without using pesticides and chemicals, its not easy to keep pest away by natural ways.

i feel theres a need of more organic shops to make it more affordable when more people consume it.
i been goin for organic vege for yrs

Bout pest and etc....
Gotta do the biological control method..
Got rat problem just keep an owl or more ..
Insects? It'll be good if u have lady bug or parasitic wasp running around around they feed on aphid and other small insects...

ya thats why not so easy to do so biologically lots of efforts which is why costlier to maintain the plants.

u can buy and owl at a kampung at a very cheap price..dont buy em at the pet store coz u need a blood thirsty owl that can do the job.. ..
Bout the lady bugs and black wasp/parasitic wasp just find a few of em n let nature take its course...insects produce fairly quick ..
oh yea dont be alarm by the wasps ...it doesnt sting people ..they're perfectly harmless ..
bout fertilizers ... u can find some local nursery that "maturing" manure and u can buy from them at at cheap rpice n some nurseries will give it for free..

hahaha this method for personal consumption, those big time organic farm sure takes alot more effort

There is no easy road...everyone that business takes a lot of commitment and patience ...just like in a relationship

ya sometimes dunno will they take it to the extend to make sure its really as natural as can be

use their own crap and the employers crap and use em as fertilizers...
Its logic <3 and save a heap of money hahahaahha xD

you are right ,thats the best natural fertilizers gross but what else beats that ?

for me, organic food is for rich people. its just the same if you eat a lots of organic chicken, u still get the same disease when u're eating the normal chicken.

wont say for rich people, its just cost more slightly but if it doesn't have much chemical/pesticides/additives etc maybe our health will be better and dont need to counter it in future by high medical expenses as inflicted by health complications when compared to eating non organic produce

Organic chicken costs rm2++ extra though...well it is worth the money in the long run

but how organic are the goods they claim to be? you might not know.

Hi guys. Have you heard LifeJuice ? They claimed to be an Organic. Saw lots people bought it. Just curious.

Bms organic is good?

I get mine from Organicule. All natural products. High quality and affordable.
www.organicule.com

Sounds like mainly fibre. Then oat bran and grains should work too.

You mean if a person always eat organic food he or she cannot go back to nornmal food?

well, organic fruits and veggies are ridiculously expensive. They pay for the label "organic" and I read there is no huge difference btw organic and non-organic. But I try to eat only grass-fed beef.

is organic food suitable for babies ?

they are more expensive true

And organic food is not like all of them are 100% pesticide residue free.
