I like to try to eat organic when possible, although it's frequently more expensive than I can afford. I am able to grow some produce organically myself, so that helps.
ReplyDeleteI'm really concerned about all the additives in food and have been purchasing more and more organic fruits and vegetables. Fortunately grocery stores and farmers markets are doing a great job of expanding the offerings.
ReplyDeletelately my husband and I have been wondering what all additives in foods has been doing to our bodies and health and he has been urging me to make healthier options. I must say I am starting to realize that certain ingredients give me a pounding headache.
ReplyDeleteI would love to go and learn about the local organic options available in atlanta.
