Organic Food?

[Luv2Teach]

Hmm.. I can't create a poll in here, but...

Do you try to eat/shop for organic food as often as possible?
Do you sometimes eat/shop for organic food?
Do you buy whatever looks good?

I've got to be a little more picky now, but for the most part, don't even look at organic.

I hepled my son on a report on our food supply in our country. After all that reading I was so sick thinking what was going on w/ our food. There's a list called "The Dirty Dozen" that you should ALWAYS buy organic because of the pesticides & contaminants they are: Apples, Bell Peppers, Celery, Cherries, Grapes (imported), Necterines, Peaches, Pears, Potatoes, Red Raspberries, Spinach & Strawberries. If you really want to see what your eating start researching our meat supply, it's disgusting.

I am so very picky when it comes to buying produce. I don't really head to the organic isles as that is not a priority. But I will search, touch, squeeze, and smell all the produce before it goes into my cart. There are times when I'm in the produce section 30 min's or more. (I need a life) :D

Oh, I do the EXACT same thing. And if there isn't the "perfect" piece in there, I won't buy it.

i have been buying organic whipping cream-WAY better and also have been getting organic half-half for my coffee and hot teas. I started buying cottage cheese for my yorkie whiskey (thanks YT!!!) and it tasted good to me then i started getting the organic kind-it's delicious. I can't wait till i can get organic skim milk in a gallon size -where i live you can only buy it in the pint size and it's whole milk. so far that's the only organic things i've been buying...will try to buy more when it becomes available.:D

If I started a garden and grew my own produce, would that be considered "organic"??? I was wondering about this today. :rolleyes:

I use to love having my garden. We haven't had one for about 3 years now. I was always so meticulous about weeds and all, but then we got a little busy when our son got older. I may have to think it over for next year.:)

I love having fresh fruits and veggies in my garden. We had a lot of stuff that didn't survive because everything got cold after we planted. But, we have tomatoes and peppers growing right now! home grown produce is the best!

I buy about 90% of my daughter's food at the organic whole food store. I try to feed her the healthiest foods possible & I feel organic is much healthier. As for myself....I rarely eat organic because it is expensive so I only buy stuff for her. :p

What I find comical is that people will spend a bundle on organic foods but still bathe in treated (city) water, live in cities where the air is green, etc.

I'm personally not convinced that it's possible to elimate everything that's damaging, and like with bacteria, unless we are exposed to it to build up immunities, once we are we're going to really get sick. School lunches, restaurants, and even a meal at a friends house could be a nasty ordeal if you haven't built up some resistance over time.

To qualify to be "organic" you have to have your garden a certain distance from any roads (carbon monoxide fumes) have to start with soil that's free of chemicals and have to know how to use natural forms of fertilizers and pest control. It's very regulated and even here in the middle of no-where, most people have to buy the soil and truck it in because years of farmers using chemicals on their fields has "contaminated" the soil for miles around.

Just my humble opinion. ;)

Organic food is just soo expensive for me. Plus after this huge scare with Spinach I have to wonder if organic food is even worth it now.
