I'll have to look up the consumer reports article I read recently about the same subject. There's was a little more helpful though, because it detailed it into "always buy organic", "buy organix when you can afford to", and the "don't bother" categories. For example, apparently there are no organic seafood standards yet, so paying for "organic" labelled fish is a waste of money.
Also, its good to look up specific sources of "all natural" meats. That may not be a standardized label, but for some beef ranchers it means the cattle themselves are fed a natural diet and kept off of hormones, etc but the grass fields aren't being kept completely organic. While not as good as organic, it is better than convential beef.
That said, I don't think I'll *ever* buy convential milk again. The fat-free half & half in my fridge will probably be the last of it.
lol... dont be afraid of a lil milk... imagine what is in the coke you drank for years... or what is in the chineese food you love so much... remember what doesnt kill you will give you a real bad rash...hehehehe
Oh no, thanks, I'll skip the milk with added rBGH and rBST. And I don't have to imagine all the ingrediants in Coke, but hey instead of drinking it anymore I can always use it to clean corrosion off my car's battery instead. I try to skip out of a lot of foods I don't make anymore, but accept the risk in not knowing where it came from, what it was, or how it was prepared when eating out...whethers its from the local Thai restaurant or Ruby Tuesday's.
I figure some change is better than no change si I spend most of my time worrying about finding things at the grocery store that are less processed, don't have corn syrup of any kind in them, and are generally going to be a lot healthier in the long run than pre-package meals.
not me baby... i am hoping to be one of those tricks that is perfectly preserved when dead... i also want to be lying butt up, so the first thing you see is my perfectly preserved ass... all wrinkled and shit...
