eat only organic food

I’ll try for the easier eat organic first

I live at home so I cannot convice my parents to spend the extra money on only organic food, but I am getting them to slowly convert a few things. I made a lental soup today in which the lentals and the dried herbs were organic, but the onions, carrots, and garlic were not. I can say (proudly) that I have gotten my family to convert to sea salt completly :).

Tonight I made a beet soup with carrots, onions, celery, and chicken stock. Everything except for the celery, the bay leaves, the dill, and the salt was organic. The soup is excellent!

Yes, it’s quite possible. I shop around for the best deal. High quality meats can be had cheaply when they’re about to expire (they reduce the price upon expiration, but really the meat is still good. Of course, we all know the best diet is no meat, but it’s a start!).

• My Organic Market
• Whole Foods
• Super Fresh
• Trader Joe’s

• Organic oatmeal (bought bulk) with organic flaxseed (Spectrum brand) every morning
• Organic fried egg at times
• Organic jasmine rice with an organic side dish
• Side dishes can include organic eggplant, onions, garlic, tomatoes, lettuce, spinach
• Organic bread – the no-wheat, sprouted kind
• Near-organic pork (Coleman), red meat (Coleman), or chicken (Murray’s)
• Organic pasta with organic sauce
• Organic apples

Next would be local farmer’s market meets – I haven’t tried those but I’m looking forward to it.

As for Why am I doing this? Well, organic food tastes better; and it’s food the way it’s supposed to be.
