Lahore has also recently caught onto the fad of eating right, with many experts suggesting organically grown and produced ingredients as a necessity to good health.

However, finding organic food cultivated without the use of chemical fertiliser, pesticides and/or other artificial substances can be a mission if you dont know where to look.

Here is a list of places where you can buy organic foods in Lahore:

Farmers markets are some of the best places to find home-grown and organic foods especially if you are looking for variety. The Haryali Market and the Khalis Food Market are good places to start.

The (now postponed) Shaukat Khanum Fitness Fiesta promises to host a farmers market as well. Meanwhile, the Khalis Food Market is scheduled for February 1, 2015.

Some places where organic foods are readily available are Al-Fatah, Jalal Sons, METRO, Hyperstar, Pioneer, and the likes. However, be cautious that you will have to be careful about what you pick out. A brand that is available and committed to organic foods is Daali Earth Foods and which stocks in almost all of the above mentioned stores.

VANCOUVER (NEWS1130) Metro Vancouvers new food scrap program is costing some school districts tens of thousands of dollars.

Organic food scraps arent allowed in with regular garbage so each school has to make some changes.

Doug Strachan with the Surrey School District says it will cost about $50,000 there but it could have been worse.

There has been a focus on our environmental impact for sometime in the district, many of our schools were already recycling in all the forms mandated by Metro Vancouver, he says.

In Coquitlam its costing about $22,000 this year but more than $60,000 next year.

It is a challenge but we do set some money aside around sustainability initiativesthis year that cost pressure of $22,000 is coming from there. For the following year, this has been put toward the budget process so it will be put forth as a cost pressure.
