This is clearly why we need a whole foods market/ trader joe's around here. I could actually AFFORD to get organic and/or much much healthier/ less preservatives food there! I couldn't get a whole lot of frozen or refrigerated stuff since we were carrying it across the state, clearly, but I could seriously afford the things that they had there. Well, some of them. But it's different than at meijer, where you have just a certain special selection of very expensive stuff.
I know that all the crazy chemicals and hormones and stuff are related to why I got period on my 10th birthday and why some girls have gotten them at 8 years old. This is scary, scary stuff. Something like getting a period earlier in life doesn't seem like a big deal-- it's certainly not a terminal disease-- but yes, it's scary shit.
It would love to read in future entries about cheap organic food/healthier options of food in your LJ!
i've been messing around on this community called cheapvegan, and that's pretty cool. i'm going to try this chocolate soy milk/bananas/peanut butter smoothie tomorrow. mmmmm. *drools*
there's lots of good stuff if you just do a lj interest search for "vegan," even if you're not vegan. :)
Do you have a Trader Joe's? If so, they're a great natural foods store that's set up pretty much like a grocery store. If not that one, you may have another - look around. I was really impressed a couple of weeks ago - I found organic bananas at a regular grocery store, and they are 50 billion times better than the "normal" ones up here - *almost* as good as they are down in Mexico.
we do have a small natural food store here, but it tends to be drastically more expensive than the mainstream store, and i just can't afford that sort of thing most of the time. i do buy from there when i can, though, and love it.
i'm probably going to be moving to the twin cities in the next six months, and they have a tremendous amount of food co-ops and other natural food stores. i can't wait. :)
i'd love to catch up with you sometime - i think we really need to. unfortunately, i'm only making it back to the city about once a year these days, which has done wonders for my sanity in about a thousand different ways, but surely hasn't done much for my friendships with people out there. :/
i've got about seven weeks left until i graduate, and i honestly don't see a trip to d-town in the works until after that. however, it looks like i'm going to be moving to minneapolis in july, so i'm sure i will be coming back for a week or so at some point. i've got some serious catching up to do with a lot of people (you included) before i run off to graduate school.
so, it's bittersweet, but yes. we will get together. i promise. :)
