[quote=Anonymous]I am an itinerant farmer, still live in the burbs, and buy as much organic as we can afford. Some things I would prefer to always buy organic are milk, cheese, yogurt and eggs. The reason for this being my belief that those pesky hormones and pesticides will eventually send me to the doctors.

So yes, I am probably 75 to 90 percent organic when it comes to what I eat, but I don't freak out about it, eat in restaurants, and at friend's houses, and don't judge other people for their choices, given that many times there are few options.

I have a hard time buying and eating fruit that isn't organic, because I have met women who've had lots of miscarriages due to their work on farms where they were sprayed overhead with bi-plane pesticides while working.

I have a hard time with that, and make every attempt not to support it. With that said, when I'm hungry, I eat. I love to buy things with thick skins that aren't on the dirty dozen.

For some informative, inspiring viewing, try the movie FRESH. It might help you to understand a bit more about where your food is coming from, and inform your choices.

We have the luxury of being able to buy organic, so we spend less at the doctors. We eat a wide variety of whole foods, are not junk food militants, don't judge others for their choices, and just enjoy food.

Sometimes organic doesn't mean a thing, sometimes it means there are fewer pesticides, and sometimes it means "hormone-free".

We stay away from too much soy, corn and wheat products, and have had more energy since making those choices.

Whatever you decide to eat, ENJOY![/quote]
