I got into it at 1st when a Whole Foods market moved into the neighborhood, then Trader Joes came...and I was hooked. I heard that local farmers got together in 5 areas local to my home every week...so that is something I want to start doing now too. I think organic is MUCH better for our bodies, of course, but it also has a richer, crisper, more delicious flavor...like it was always MEANT to have... I think pesticides rob the food of its flavor in a lot of ways. Get your kids used to it when they are young, and they will love it too. Sheila I think organic is AWESOME stuff!

We are not meant to inject so many chemicals and toxins everytime we eat something. I love this site, thanks for saying how important organic is...because it is! Also, whenever you can, you should REALLY support your local farmers at the farmer's markets. The prices are great, and the food is the freshest, and healthiest you will find!

I'm so glad you can afford to pay more. I guess your kids deserve the best but the children of the unemployed or underemployed dont? Shouldn't food banks be organic only too? Everyone cannot afford to buy organic, even lower middle class families. Some of those parents have to work 45 hours and commute another 10. I buy everything I can organic also, but its precisely because I can afford the TIME to buy in bulk, can and bottle, etc that I am financially able to do this. 2. I'm sorry that you don't have or want health insurance. I insure my family's health with good-for-them and good-for-the-earth foods but I can't afford a hospital bill if there's an accident or my daughter's appendix bursts. If you can't either, you'll pass those costs onto the hospital, the state and the taxpayers. That's responsible? I found two things wrong with this article, items of absolute ridiculousness:
