Amy�s Organic: Everyday Organic Soup, Chili, Burritos & Pizza

Amy’s Organic: Everyday Organic Soup, Chili, Burritos & Pizza for Lazy Environmentalists

January 7, 2010   AK

We get a lot of questions about organic and local food from our readers. And above all, we get the question, Where can I find affordable organic food? While the answer to this question will certainly vary from location to location, I always recommend one brand: Amy’s Organics. I recommend them because they are widely available, affordable, and they make a wide variety of items that taste as good as they are healthy. In fact, they taste so good that they’ve caught on with people who aren’t looking for an “organic” label. Equally important to all that, they understand what it means to be a lazy environmentalist.

And they also understand what it means to be a family business .

Real Life and real nutrition

Amy’s Organics understands that for many of us, we want healthy organic foods but we don’t always have the time to whip up gourmet meals. I like burritos. I like mac and cheese (a lot). And I’ll even give in to the occasional organic pizza from time to time. It’s a comfort to know that the comfort food I’m indulging in comes from organic ingredients.

So I guess Amy’s Kitchen makes high quality comfort food.

My brother, who recently moved in with me after relocating for a job in this crazy economic time, lives off their canned soups. I like soup but my big brother Jake is an organic soup-a-holic. Most nights of the week he comes home from work, goes to the gym, and then downs a can or two of Amy’s Organic soups before passing out for the night. I usually work out during the day and then eat a big meal around 2 or 3pm. I like the mediterranean eating schedule, it makes sense for me, so I’ll usually join big bro for a can of soup or a small burrito at night in addition to a fresh chopped salad. After my midday workout and meal, that’s usually all I need for the night.

Take the Chef’s Advice

My friend Chef Jeff - we call him this because he worked as a professional chef and even started a school to train other professional chefs - used to tell me, “If I can buy something that tastes professionally prepared, why would I make it myself?” Of course he’s made plenty of food from scratch in his time, his name is Chef Jeff, but even Chef Jeff knows that life is hard enough and taking the occasional shortcut with quality food is fine. I still recommend that you eat more fruits and vegetables than anything else, but even the healthiest among us need the occasional indulgence. Or, if you’re my big brother, you’re simply replacing questionable factory foods with better quality stuff that’s healthier and tastes better.

Why Organic?

Many people still doubt the “organic” label but some people also thought the internet was going to be a fad, so what do ...
