| Strategize your organic grocery shopping |
 My Mom informed me that my younger brother is now shopping at a supermarket that only sells organic foods. He lives in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida. I'm so pleased to hear that he has gone organic. It's difficult to do though because those items are typically more expensive.
Brian and I buy organic milk and i have just recently purchased organic oatmeal, but sometimes a buck makes a difference and we stay away from other organics. I'm hoping eventually we'll be able to do more.
My hope is for there to be more and more choices of where to buy organic food and then the prices will drop. But it will probably be several years before that happens; if it does.
The New York Times recently published an article of five foods you should definitely try to buy organic. The list includes milk, potatoes, peanut butter, ketchup and apples. Recent USDA monitoring data found synthetic pyrethroid pesticides in 27% of conventional milk samples. With that knowledge, I feel good about the fact that we already have switched to buying only organic milk but we have yet to try the other four items.
I'm not sure what organic ketchup would taste like, I mean I'm so comfortable with my Heinz. But the article states that organic ketchup has "double the antioxidants" as your typical name brand.
Less pesticides and more antioxidants sounds good to me!Labels: organic food |

Strawberries are usually at the top of the list - I wonder if that's changed.
