I never thought I would be one to jump on the Organic natural food and cleaning soap box. The more I read about and here things on the news about chemical's that are pumped into our foods I am convinced that this it not a healthy thing for me and my family to eat. I was starting to go mostly organic until I saw a story on the news about how Watermelons in China were bursting open. This was do to a growth accelerator chemical that is illegal in Chain and is used in Kiwi and one other fruit I can't remember here in the U.S. Now I am going all organic. The reason I said "mostly" was because it is thought that fruits and veggies that have thick skins don't have to be organic because we don't eat that part. They are still being pumped full of nasty chemicals.
Organic is very expensive. I am convinced that me being over weight is not entirely my fault. Yes I do eat fast food here and there, but when I try to buy foods at the store with less fat, calories, or sugar it is 2-4 times the cost. We eat Kraft singles. I can buy bulk package for $9.99 and they gives me 4 packages. I bought Kraft Singles made with 2% the other day and it was $4.29 per package. I may not be able to do this all of the time but I am going to try to buy organic most of the time. I am searching for coupons like crazy!
We obviously can't eat it all of the time. I am not going to make my kids feel like they are different by making them pack their lunch everyday for school if they want to eat school lunch. And if we are someone Else's house we will not make a big deal out of it either. I have tried to grow my own strawberries and my onions are sprouting, I have a few sprigs of Cilantro. Next year I am going to do more. I will jut try and do what I can to save my family from nasty chemicals. And pray that God will help me through this journey and that one day when my kids have to buy there own food that organics will be cheaper.
