That organic veggies go bad a tad quicker then their chemically-infused counterparts.
Soggy apple, anyone?

I’ve been living in england for more or less two months now (I get home in 3 weeks!).

The UK government is a lot more health conscious then America. The tabloids scream “childhood obesity epidemic!”, when the percentage of overweight people in the UK far dwarfs the percentage in the united states. There is a huge emphasis on organic foods and eating a balanced meal. The EU has recently upheld a countries right to ban Genetically modified crops, after a U.S. Super-corporation tried to complain (if you are curious, you can read about it here).

Basically, the food here is much better. Fewer preservatives, artificial flavorings, easy access to organic produce. Because of this, I’ve noticed a change in my body and how I feel.

I’ve come to realize that food shouldn’t make you sick. you shouldn’t have to eat an entire plate full of food to get full, Bread should have sugar (next time you buy a loaf of bread, look at how much sugar is added) and everything just tastes 100x better if it’s fresh and not genetically modified trash.

I had already began taking the steps to be organic – I no longer eat meat or milk that isn’t, since they are so chock-full of hormones it’s hard to tell where the cow ends and the chemicals begin.

I’ve decided that when I get home, I am going to try and go completely organic when it comes to what I put in my body. After all, I only get one, and may as well fuel it with food that actually tastes good and is good for me, rather then pre-packaged fake crap.

If anyone has any advice on where to buy organic goods that isn’t too pricey, I would defiantly appreciate it.
