The term \u201c100% organic\u201d means that the food wasn\u2019t exposed to any herbicides, pesticides or hormones. For example, an organic apple was never treated with pesticides during harvest. Organic milk comes from cows who are not treated with hormones. When we promote going organic, it is merely for food safety reasons, to avoid potentially harmful chemicals and to reduce the intake of genetically-modified food products.<\/p>\n<h3>Here is a list of foods that are organic, but are STILL JUNK FOOD:<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Soda<\/strong><br \/>\n\u2022 You can find some without artificial flavors and colorings, but it still has SUGAR.<br \/>\n<strong>Macaroni &amp; Cheese<\/strong><br \/>\n\u2022 Some are made with organic cheese, but the fat content is still the same, and it\u2019s still considered a processed food.<br \/>\n<strong>Ice Cream<\/strong><br \/>\n\u2022 The milk and cream came from cows that weren\u2019t injected with hormones, but calorie for calorie, most organic brands are nearly identical to Breyer\u2019s or Haagen-Dazs.<br \/>\n<strong>French Fries<\/strong><br \/>\n\u2022 Some brands do not use hydrogenated oils, which is great, but they were still fried, which means fat content remains nearly the same.<br \/>\n<strong>Cookies<\/strong><br \/>\n\u2022 Everything in moderation!<br \/>\n<strong>Chips<\/strong><br \/>\n\u2022 This just means that the potatoes were cultivated and harvested without the use of herbicides, pesticides or soil that was contaminated with chemicals.<br \/>\nBefore you rush out to buy everything organic, recognize why you are doing so. Who wouldn\u2019t want to reduce the amounts of harmful chemicals we ingest? Just remember that organic junk food is, sadly, still junk food.<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-15477\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/blog-divider-line.jpg\" alt=\"blog-divider-line\" width=\"620\" height=\"60\" srcset=\"https:\/\/landing-uat.thedolcediet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/blog-divider-line.jpg 620w, https:\/\/landing-uat.thedolcediet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/blog-divider-line-300x29.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/shop.thedolcediet.com\/collections\/personalized-plans-certifications\/products\/dolce-diet-custom-plan\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-17058\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Dolce-Diet-1-on-1-Consult-800.png\" alt=\"dolce-diet-1-on-1-consult-800\" width=\"620\" height=\"620\" srcset=\"https:\/\/landing-uat.thedolcediet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Dolce-Diet-1-on-1-Consult-800.png 800w, https:\/\/landing-uat.thedolcediet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Dolce-Diet-1-on-1-Consult-800-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/landing-uat.thedolcediet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Dolce-Diet-1-on-1-Consult-800-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/landing-uat.thedolcediet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Dolce-Diet-1-on-1-Consult-800-768x768.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The term &#8220;organic&#8221; merely refers to what a food has or hasn\u2019t been exposed to.
