I agree that you should focus on eating healthy and buy organic only if budget allows. My girls do not eat as healthy as I, but I do try to bake for them often instead of buying prepackaged stuff (I do buy Cheerios and Goldfish).<br /><br />You asked about the Wheatgrass. It can only be juiced with a special juicer. It has many health benefits (just google it). I have been juicing it for a year and love it. It just makes me feel good!Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12043669645962269647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1669151401124686027.post-4674909197577582582010-02-10T23:38:21.081-05:002010-02-10T23:38:21.081-05:00Kroger's' PS organic milk in the gallon ju...Kroger's' PS organic milk in the gallon jug is Pasteurized not ultra-pasteurized, that's the one I get. I get my eggs from Schaeffer's which also sells organic beef, pork, lamb and they also process all Toby's deer. In the summer I get a lot of my produce from home grown farms like West Chester Farmer's market or Barn n Bunk. I haven't tried the plantation down the road yet but will see what they have to offer this year. Do you do the farmer's markets? There is a cattle farm that does organic meats near you I think.Pohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06999379668684994755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1669151401124686027.post-16417984232408968942010-02-10T16:38:32.240-05:002010-02-10T16:38:32.240-05:00Po, that is great, but unfortanately, feeing 6 peo...Po, that is great, but unfortanately, feeing 6 people it just isn't in our budget. I am glad you have found a way to not only eat organic but provide gluten free products for Toby. That is awesome.<br /><br />Jennifer--I basically do the same thing, if the organic prices is similar, then I will buy it. And I have never heard of that before about organic. I will have to do some research!Jennyhttp://www.thezepflife.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1669151401124686027.post-65610757019605636542010-02-10T13:17:27.039-05:002010-02-10T13:17:27.039-05:00Well, I do some of both.

Carrots it is almost the same so I always get organic carrots. Other food items, I try to stock up on when it is on sale, just like non-organic. I feel strongly that we should be moving to an all organic diet, but can't afford it so I just do what we can. I would say that we only eat maybe 20% organic. It is just so expensive. <br /><br />As for milk - I have heard that the organic is not even that great for you, because it has been ultra high pasturized or something like that. Which kills more of the good stuff..Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16958981528207127681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1669151401124686027.post-31080723260623847132010-02-09T09:11:45.504-05:002010-02-09T09:11:45.504-05:00Mainly organic, Toby hunts so we always have a dee...Mainly organic, Toby hunts so we always have a deer or two in the freezer which I use instead of beef in chills etc... I buy Organic veggies and fruits and sometimes regular Bananas because the skin is so think on them it doesn't matter too much. A lot of what I buy like pastas etc are organic as well as gluten-free. I can not make GF bread worth a penny so we buy it from a shop in Miamisburg, Sinfully Gluten-Free. The best GF bread and Pizza crusts.<br /><br />I know our shopping bill is much higher than if I bought regular stuff but the way I see it it is an investment in the future.Pohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06999379668684994755noreply@blogger.com
