As I mentioned before I'm on a strict budget,so going organic means finds creative ways to cook organic for my family without going over budget. Not as easy as I thought it would be when a gallon of milk is twice as much and most things are at least 50% more expensive. My solution- I'm making a lot more thing from scratch. Also more vegetarian meals. So far it's been fun,it's really making me think outside the box.
To be honest,I wouldn't say I feel any different health wise yet. That being said, my entire kitchen hasn't been switched over to all organic.It's a work in progress to say the least.
Sunday I'll be heading to Moss Landing to check out their organic offerings. I was there before,but not shopping for organic. Depending on what I find, I might be checking out the 2 other Farmer's markets that we have here locally.
Speaking of locally- my friend mentioned to me the importance of eating locally.To that I'd add eating in season. But to return to my friend's point- if our goal or a part of our goal in eating organic is to help the enviroment,we should also be paying attention to eating locally. It's all great and good if our strawberries aren't sprayed with chemicals,but what if they've been trucked halfway across the country or the world? The overall benefit to our Earth is diminshed. But if we can all choose local,in season, organic produce think of the impact to the world. It truly is mind boggling! Thanks for the food for thought Donna!
Enjoy the weekend my friends.
