Loading ...The fact that organic food is overall better for you than food that does not meet organic standards is no longer a controversy. Science has well demonstrated the benefits of organic foods. For example, recent research has shown organic fruits and vegetables to contain as much as 40% more nutrients. Other research has demonstrated that food grown with pesticides can continue to carry harmful chemistry in the food to the consumer. Animals that eat foods with pesticides can store these harmful toxins in the fatty content of their meat.
But is organic food really the best choice for you? Jordan Rubin’s new “Beyond Organic” is setting new standards when it comes to eating. He has revealed those hidden facts regarding the requirements of being labeled organic and is raising the bar to “beyond” organic… or “better than” organic. In his new book “Live Beyond Organic”, Jordan Rubin will expose organic standards short comings and reveal the highest standards including Kosher preparations to produce the most nutrient dense healthy foods available on the planet today.
In addition to living a beyond organic lifestyle, Jordan teaches a “pro-biotic lifestyle”. That is, that the diet should be largely “live food”; not only in the sense of eating lots of fruits and vegetables, but eating food filled with many varieties of healthy bacteria. Such colonies can help support a healthy immune system and digestive health.

There’s nothing “beyond” that Rubin offers other than Kosher slaughter, which requires the animal be alive while its throat is slit and it bleeds out.
Diverting your money from your local economy and farmers to Jordan Rubin in Kansas City to have beef, cheese, chocolate and water transported to your door is not sustainable at all. I am appalled by how many people are gathering at the trough to cash in on this “opportunity.”
I’ve written my scathing review of Beyond Organic: Is Jordan Rubin’s Beyond Organic a Scam?
Rubin’s program does nothing to “change the world.” It just fills his pocketbook. If you want to change the world, then buy locally. Don’t support yet another mega-corp attempting to corner the market on organic beef production.
Ignorance is Bliss. I wrote on your blog:
“Actually, to be called grass fed implies the diet is at least 30% grass – not 100% which is what Jordan Rubin defines as green fed. Organic beef can still have vaccines. Organic cows can still get slaughtered with… well, even a back hoe. As far as find a spring, I apparently have to drive 3 hours to fill up my bottles. But that was a cute idea you had (check zip code 33060). I can drive about 8 hours to pick up my grass fed grain finished beef. Another brilliant critique. But do you have the guts to leave the comments up that I post?”
But I wonder if you leave up comments on your blog that offer a rebuttle? Of course, I could have written much more, but I didn’t read your whole article because the lack of research. But I do apologize for firing back. I should have just let it go.
I also added “I apologize for being upset at your review. I should have at least read the whole thing and given you a fair chance. But I do wish organic standards were higher.” But after reading the rest, you didn’t redeem yourself in any way.
The article you referenced was referencing a book about the a1 beta casein protein. The book was written prior to Beyond Organic. But the author of the article presented the problem based on science and a potential alternative.
Regarding the change your diet, life and world, it is about changing your diet, which for most (including you) would change your life (an obvious example… there are better things to eat than the half pig you bought from showman farms. You might also research the tap water you are drinking. You might also ask farmer showman about the cocktail of vaccines given to organic cattle.). And as for changing the world, teaching others healthy nutrition AND supporting missions. But I don’t think you really researched the vision… or were these the things your were referring to?
The book may have been written before Beyond Organic but the blog post which linked to BO was not. It was a referral link from a Mission Marketer.
The Okinawans ate a lot of pork and they’re the longest lived people. And I bought the pork from Blackbird Farms, not Showman. I bought the raw milk from Showman.
I bought half a Piedmontese from Skelton Farms and they don’t vaccinate. I’m getting a side of beef from Hare-Today, and the owner is as crazy about vaccinations as I am.
Maybe you just need to get to know your local farmers better.
On my blog comments I posted three possible farmers no further than four hours away from you from which you can buy “organic” beef, and one of them ships!
But seriously, if you think buying beef, cheese, chocolate and water from Kansas City is going to change your world, I can’t help you.
