It's a constant battle at the grocery store to find a happy medium - especially when I have to ween my kids from so much of the bad stuff. It's all a process.

It seems like I we wither have a lot more food in the house, which turns out to be the yucky stuff...or we have wonderful organics that cost me way more than I can afford and it doesn't ever last as long. Humph. I usually just try to get organic fruits and vegs and milk and the rest I just buy what is pretty healthy and NEVER EVER contains high fructose corn syrup. That stuff is bad news. I have looked into our local farmers markets here and they do not even sell organic. So, I am left with the idea of starting my own garden while shuddering with fear over the idea. I do not have a green thumb (just the rest of me is green) hehe. We will see. First I need to find someone to loan me their tiller...then try to either convince my hubs to do it or figure that one out. BLAH. Islandermom (we love Vidazorb probiotics!!

Are you able to grow any vegetables of your own? I sure wish I could but that would mean clearing lots of trees and that's something I can't bring myself to do, so I have to settle for buying as many organics as possible. Best of luck to you and keep doing all you can! marina – you sure do have a challenge on your hands! Are you able to grow any vegetables of your own?
