I do not believe there is a significant (if any) health reason to do so- rather we make these choices for environmental and social reasons.<br /> I can't afford to do this with our clothing/furniture/etc., but with some budgeting we have been able to do so with our food. </p> <p>We eat whatever is offered or available when we are at someone's home or in a restaurant (although we tend to patronize restaurants that also prioritize local foods). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-feed-your-lo-only-organic#post-1397140 Tue, 04 Feb 2014 07:30:58 +0000 betsyboop 1397140@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We buy organic dairy, meats, and dirty dozen produce. Eating 100% organic would be incredibly expensive!<br /> eta: When we're eating out and the place doesnt serve organic meats or produce, we will give it to lo anyway. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-feed-your-lo-only-organic#post-1397137 Tue, 04 Feb 2014 07:24:13 +0000 MsLipGloss 1397137@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We buy some organic (but not all). But I don't stress too much about it. I do watch where some produce is from (I don't buy imported grapes to avoid methylbromide and such), and some fruits/nuts I much prefer to buy organic. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-feed-your-lo-only-organic#post-1397134 Tue, 04 Feb 2014 07:22:12 +0000 looch 1397134@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Local is more important to me than organic. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-feed-your-lo-only-organic#post-1397130 Tue, 04 Feb 2014 07:19:30 +0000 blackbird 1397130@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't go out of my way to. if it's organic, fine, if not, and I still want it, I buy it. </p> <p>I went to a show this weekend and Alton Brown said the only thing that matters is buying what's grown in the USA. If it's good enough for him, it's good enough for me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-feed-your-lo-only-organic#post-1397039 Tue, 04 Feb 2014 02:04:19 +0000 dojo 1397039@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I try to buy certain things organic when I can - mostly dairy and certain fruits and veggies but I try to focus more on whole foods over processed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-feed-your-lo-only-organic#post-1397036 Tue, 04 Feb 2014 01:47:43 +0000 birdofafeather 1397036@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We try to buy organic often but not always. I am more aware of processed foods with crazy ingredients versus eating whole foods or things with less ingredients. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-feed-your-lo-only-organic#post-1397035 Tue, 04 Feb 2014 01:47:37 +0000 Dagny 1397035@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We buy mostly organic, but we also live in SoCal where there are great organic selections from the local farmer markets. That makes it a lot easier. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-feed-your-lo-only-organic#post-1397026 Tue, 04 Feb 2014 01:33:22 +0000 autumnlove 1397026@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I buy some organic stuff...mostly dairy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-feed-your-lo-only-organic#post-1397018 Tue, 04 Feb 2014 01:20:22 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 1397018@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was raised on lunchables so I don't worry too much about it. I do try to buy organic with the dirty dozen, eggs, and milk though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-feed-your-lo-only-organic#post-1397017 Tue, 04 Feb 2014 01:18:14 +0000 Sweet T 1397017@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, we can't afford it. DS eats what we eat. I do buy organic milk for him and would like to keep doing so. It's just comes down to what's affordable. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-feed-your-lo-only-organic#post-1397012 Tue, 04 Feb 2014 01:05:25 +0000 HLK208 1397012@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nah. I do only buy organic dairy/meat though (except chicken since I buy the giant, frozen Costco bag). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-feed-your-lo-only-organic#post-1397010 Tue, 04 Feb 2014 01:01:53 +0000 lemondrop 1397010@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, I try for locally sourced rather than organic when I can. Having grown up on a farm I'm much less concerned about things being organic. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-feed-your-lo-only-organic#post-1397009 Tue, 04 Feb 2014 00:52:57 +0000 Smurfette 1397009@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope! She eats what we eat. We would be broke if tried to eat all organic. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-feed-your-lo-only-organic#post-1397005 Tue, 04 Feb 2014 00:45:18 +0000 Ginabean3 1397005@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Interesting article....<br /> <a href="http://www.slate.com/articles/double_x/the_kids/2014/01/organic_vs_conventional_produce_for_kids_you_don_t_need_to_fear_pesticides.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.slate.com/articles/double_x/the_kids/2014/01/organic_vs_conventional_produce_for_kids_you_don_t_need_to_fear_pesticides.html</a></p> <p>I do try to look for organic fruits and veggies and then get frustrated when the store I'm at doesn't have a great selection. But after reading this I think I'll be more relaxed....I was not raised eating organic fruits and veggies and I'm perfectly fine.... </p>
