I'm more concerned about the quality of my food...not the quantity. Plus, I might eat less and waste less. I've eaten grocery store tomatoes and my taste buds and eyes tell me that they can't have the same nutritional content as above.

Organically raised animals must consume no antibiotics or growth hormones, must eat organic food and have access to the outdoors. Genetic engineering is not allowed.
