eat organic

I recently read the book “In Defense of Food” by Michael Pollen and since then have really been trying to incorporate more organic, local and wild foods into my diet. I’ve been shopping at my local farmer’s market and things have been going well…hopefully I’ll be able to keep it up!

Genetically modified foods? No thanks. It’s gonna cost a fortune, but hey, my daughter won’t reach puberty at 9 years old and with any luck we’ll be around to see her graduate from college by eating real food.

I’m looking forward to moving back to California next month as this will be easier to do there—yay farmers markets! I’m more motivated than ever now that I also have a kid to think about. I want to be more mindful of what we put into our bodies, period.

I can’t afford to eat all organic at this point in my life, but I eat as much as I can. I have to say I’ve been healthier for it too, considering how many food sensitivities I have to chemicals and preservatives…

Organic carrots with organic ranch dressing…. Great Snack!

I cannot afford all organic, and I am divided between eating something with the “organic” symbol or eating locally grown food. Until I’m able to afford to do both (and live in a place where both are offered), I am at least trying to eat the following foods as organic:
Meat, milk, yogurt, tomatoes, celery, carrots, coffee, grapes

I was never into eating organic foods because I didn’t really believe it was any different than eating any ordinary food. I mean, why spend MORE money on something I can buy for half the price of something organic.
Then, I actually tried oragnic foods and I love everything about eating organically. Not only do I fell 100% more better when I eat organically, but managing my weight has never been easier. Now buying these foods are more expensive so i cannot buy everything organic. I want to be able to find delicious recipies that include organic/all natural meals for myself. I live alone, so I do not need a fest every night. I just would like to know what other people have tired and maybe share some of thier ideas.
Thanks alot.

Organic food is more expensive but so worth it! I just need to find a Trader Joe’s nearby, they have relatively low prices.

I’ve been eating organic for about a week now, I can’t see myself ever going back to fatty, sugarfilled, processed, all-around unhealthy foods ever! Organic is the way to go.

money wasn’t an issue.

but, it is.
well i guess if i shop smart and eat smart…like in moderations.
hmm.
i would love to do this.
