Easter is here. That means a big ham or turkey dinner and loads of chocolate and candy, but is there a healthier way to celebrate?
One local store thinks so.
Lovey’s Natural Foods and Cafe offer organic chocolate bunnies, eggs and candy.
The store claims that it’s organic chocolate contains nothing processed, no corn syrups or added sugar.
Those who study organic foods say when a food is not all natural; toxins are stored in the fat.
For the big Easter dinner, all natural chicken, turkey and ham are an option.
Owner of Lovey’s, Marie Montemurro says "the hams are organic, you don't want anything cured or any nitrates because that's a chemical and when you're eating that chemical some of it actually gets stored in your body and it becomes toxic and it's unhealthy. You are what you eat."
Of course, if you want to watch your weight it doesn’t matter if the food is organic. Weight loss comes down to portion size and eating in moderation.

Proof is in the Pudding.
When will people learn to FIND THE ACTUAL FACTS THEN MAKE PUBLIC STATEMENTS ABOUT HEALTH AND ORGANIC FOOD????
I heard on Friday make some lame comment on WWAY tv 3 that "Organic Corn and Bananas aren't Nearly as important because the pesticides are on the outside of the food". FALSE!
Bananas are constantly sprayed with tons of chemicals to grow in countries THAT DO NOT HAVE FDA REGULATIONS ON PESTICIDE USE (not that their standards are worth a yam anyhow)...but THOSE BANANAS ARE FULL OF PESTICIDES as they are grown INSIDE of their skin!
Organic Corn may come in a husk, but the HUSK is part of it's growing process, and the chemicals on the growing process is put INTO THE FOOD WE EAT!
Organic Foods ALL have a huge flavor difference, because THEY ARE DIFFERENT! I DARE ANYONE OUT THERE TO TRY AN ORGANIC BANANA NEXT TO A CONVENTIONAL BANANA AND TELL ME THAT YOU DO NOT TASTE THAT CHEMICAL DIFFERENCE!
Proof is IN the Pudding!
Yams, same story they were always gross to me until I finally tried an ORGANIC one, so it DOES MATTER TO CHILDREN TOO! But hey, if you are wanting to be a parent who is feeding their kids junk and putting them on drugs...then welcome to the IGNORANT SIDE OF SOCIETY...keep listening to WWAY for your health stories, where Alcohol just one glass a day is good for you (NOT- THAT ACTUALLY CREATES PANCREATIC CANCER...duh) and that Chocolate daily is always good (WRONG AGAIN-Dark Choc, does have constituents that cause endorphine stimulation but it is NOT IN MILK Chocolate...or in hershey bars!)
I SAY IF YOU DO NOT KNOW WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT IN HEALTH..THEN GO SIT BY THE HAM EATING FOLKS SMOKING CIGARETTES, DRINK YOUR GIN AND JUICE AND GET OFF MY TELEVISION SET!
