For me it’s not so much a weight-loss/health thing as a simple gut-reaction to how gross processed food really is. Food INC really ruined fast food for me 😉
That’s great! Some how I am always able to think around things like that. But Fast Food Nation has definitely put me off fast food…for now. I am terrified to watch Food Inc though. My threshold for blubbering right now is so low.
I don’t do any sort of ground or chuck meat anymore. Organic Milk (in carton) and most fruits and vegs. I don’t buy organic cherries or grapes because they are offensively expensive. When buying meat I tend to look for things sold “in the round.” I don’t bother with organic chips or pretzels (I just opt not to eat them at all.) And my canned vegs aren’t organic.
Oh, and I love me some Bush’s pork & beans… and those aren’t organic.
Oh for sure. I’ve spent over $10 on cherries. I was horrified but too embarrassed to send them back. I savored those expensive-ass cherries like they were going extinct.
I am curious. Are you shopping at primarily a regular grocery chain or do you go to co-ops/Whole Foods? We are trying to incorporate more organic, but I almost died of sticker shock at Whole Foods (but, Gawd, the deli is so yummy…and the bakery…and the local cheeses).
