Hi Andrea, do you live in the Boston area? I use to live in southern NH and would drive to andover to go to wild oats. Now I go to a store called wild by nature. I identify with you on this one. I want so badly to eat healthy organic stuff but it is so darned expensive. I have a 1 and 3 year old and try to buy organic whenever I can, but I can't afford to do a lot of my shopping at the organic stores. What I worry about most is that the hormones they put in meat/milk will affect my kids negatively, and that the pestisides will also harm them. I read an article recently in my husbands new england journal of medicine about the harmful affects of pesticides on growing develping brains. I don't buy red meat anymore and also when I'm not able to buy organic I make sure I only buy domestic fruit/veggies/meat. I saw on a newprogram that when you buy food imported from other countires the standards are not as tough.
Do you know what really scares me because there is not enough research? Gentically modified food. What do people think of that? They are putting corn, and other gentically modified food that they have messed with the DNA of into everyday foods now like cereal. I know it sounds like science fiction, but its true. Yes, I worry about my own health, but it REALLY scares me about my small children.
