Do you eat ORGANIC FOOD?

My husband loves organic food. He actually prefers over other times of foods, because he believes it's healthier due to the fact that it's more natural. We also feed my daughter organic foods. I think it helps her digest things easier as well. For example, my husband eats a lot of organic fruits and veggies because he doesn't like all the chemicals they place in regular fruits and veggies. And even though it costs more, I think it's worth it, because it's much more healthier.

Well to be honest, I never had organic foods, Wouldn't mind trying them. As to the chemicals in the food, yes I worry alot, I been hearing more and more about the food these days and it's plan scary. I try not to think about it, but can't help it.. Maybe I should try organic food, I'm picky but as long as it's not a aquired taste type food, I'd probably enjoy it.. Thank you for the insight ms Valley girl :)

Come on now... we are made of chemicals... It is good to see what we are eating.. we should limit that up to that level... If you start eating only organic foods, what do you want to eat... What do you get all the time that is only organic...

yes sometimes not all the times

Every chance I get I choose organic or local grown. I raise all I can and hope to market garden sometime in the next few years. Must get my life back on track first. It is better and can be of as good or better quality of you find a farm near you that is intent on bringing the best. If you are out west it can be easier to find as well on the east coast. The movement is growing and I hope will eventually take over the market. Whole foods store is a good bet for finding the most items for selection of local and organic grown. Good luck it is well worth it.

I didn't know there may be chemicals in our food. I wouldn't mind buying organic food. I like a lot of food that is healthy which is good. So eating organic would be a good idea. It's still the same healthy food I eat but safer. But my dad does all the grocery shopping and he doesn't care if its organic or not so I don't have that much control over the food that comes into the house. But whenever I do buy things, I'll start trying out organic from now on. Thanks.

If it is legit, and been inspected, not paid off, then organic is far more healthier. You can also taste the difference.

Hi Westernvalleygirl, Nice to visit with you again. And, especially in regard to such an important topic. You're absolutely right. The chemicals used in commercial farming today are not good for us. They are very taxing on our immune systems. So, you ask if we eat organic. Yes, as much as possible. We grow most of our veggies as well as peaches, apples, and different types of berries. I only grow organic. No chemicals ... period. We make our own composted soil amendments, using cedar shred to help manage insects. We also use predatory biological controls for more tenacious bugs, and diotomaceous earth for grubs, and grasshoppers. The end result, organic food is just a whole lot better -- taste as well as the net result on our bodies. As far as buying organic ... there are certain fruits & veggies that require more insect control when grown. Others less. For example: commercially grown green peppers and apples are sprayed -- alot! When I buy those types of foods, I always buy organic. I also give preference to local organic growers. Just gotta' love the local Farmer's Market. Thanks for bringing up this important topic.

Good morning Westernvalleygirl, Have you tried Succanat, Stevia, or Beet Sugar as alternative sweeteners? Each are great alternatives to refined, prosessed cane sugar. I especially like Stevia because it's easy to grow in the garden. Of course, I'm forever finding the dogs nibbling on the Stevia leaves, so growing it means more work shooing the critters away. Iced tea with fresh Stevia leaves is wonderful! As well, the leaves are a great addition to both green & fruit salads.

Well I don't really eat much organic, although I buy organic for my boys. I don't know why I don't eat it myself, I get it for them because I know it's healthier, and I feel it's better for them than all the chemicals in everything else. We don't really buy organic vegtables as it's quite more expensive, most of the organic stuff I buy for the kids is pre-prepared snacks, raisins etc.

I have gone through "phases" of trying to eat organic food. It can be difficult to purchase, and one has to travel more distance. Many years ago I tried buying only organic. I used to have to drive at least 30 minutes each way to purchase it. Although I am really organic now, I still make an effort to buy food with no preservative and added chemicals. This is much better for my husbands diet. Organic food would be better for us, I am sure of it, as our bodies are designed to process only natural foods.

I really don't eat organically grown food. I've noticed that a lot of the recalls are on organic food. I don't really care about the pesticides to tell you the truth as of yet. I have to say though that I really haven't looked into it very much.

yes, but not much, because organic food is more expensive than non organic food. but i think i'll eat it more often to maintain my good health in the long run.

My Mother ran a organic food business from home as a child I ate nothing but organic fruit vegetable bio dynamic yoghurts cheese etc. As well as being healthy for me it also taught me alot about the food industry and food itself anyone who has tried good quality organic food will tell you the taste is so much different to usual store bought sprayed by chemicals food in supermarkets in the end the best food is food you grow yourself but in my opnin organically grown is the next best thing

Yes I do, chemicals are killing people that thinks they are eating good healthy food, fruits, vegetables good but deadly to.

i eat normal fress food no need to be organic, cause whe i show in the Tv programe call whats good for you? they found that, non organic friut & vagetable,when you wash proply and clean proply it will be as good as organic foog, so what bother buy organic? thats me.

I try to. But unfortunately organic food is more expensive so there are times wherein I cannot afford it.
