[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What % organic foods do you eat here? And non-GMO?

Many pesticides and chemicals — and plastics for packaging, I believe — that are ok in US are forbidden other places.

I eat more than my siblings, but eat almost 100% organic foods when at home. They rarely buy organic. They gain much, much easier and faster than I do. They also buy low-fat foods and more processed and/or packaged foods (eg, cut veg in a plastic bag that can be boiled or microwaved).[/quote]

My brother  who lives in the Midwest noted that his kids and their sports teams, they are in private school and all eat organic food, are all smaller than the public school kids and sports teams.  Those kids are bigger, taller, more muscular and more fat.  There seems to be a real difference between organic and conventional foods. [/quote]

Not really…the kids at private school whose parents are buying organic are likely also eating more fruits and vegetables, whole grains, more scratch home cooked meals.  The public school kids are likely eating more Doritos, more soda, more pop tarts, more McDs, more Hot Pockets, etc.  It isn’t conventional apples vs organic ones making those kids bigger and fatter [/quote]
