    In social media and popular culture, there seems to be an assumption that “Organic is Healthy.” But what does the science say?

We will cover all these questions and more, while giving you the most evidence-based and up to date information that will leave you feeling confident about your food choices.

Art & Wellness requires you to register for each month you want to attend because we need to prepare supplies for you to pick up ahead of time.

[WEBINAR] Which Is Best? Organic or Conventional

In social media and popular culture, there is a big debate about which type of foods are better, organic or conventional. In this webinar, we discussed what they are, how these foods are grown, labeling, and which one is better for you. This was an informative webinar for knowing where your food comes from and what different food labels really mean.

Watch the webinar recording here!

The following is discussed in the webinar:

  • Definitions of what organic and conventional foods are
  • Organic food labels and what they mean
  • Big factory farms vs. small local farms
  • GMOs & “No-till” farming
  • Common assumptions about organic and conventional farming

Feel free to contact Julie if you have questions or need nutrition advice or join her Q&A session on April 1st. (No… it’s not a joke)!

And of course, you can always find her latest nutrition tips and science-based recommendations on www.cancerdietitian.com.
