Why buy organic food?
Thinking of going organic? Don’t know which foods are organic must haves and which ones can be regular ol’ mass produced, antibiotic ridden, pesticide covered ones? Times are tough, and organic food – heck all food is expensive; that is unless your cart normally consists of ramen noodles, white bread, cheetos and Dr. Thunder…I shudder to think! Organic foods can be astronomical when you’re on a budget. I don’t mean to scare you – but there are some foods that are best consumed organic. The best, and least expensive way to start is to seek out a local Farmer’s Market. A study in 2002 found that about 40% of those farmers don’t charge a premium. For listings of local farmer’s markets and other sources, go to www.ams.usda.gov/farmersmarkets and www.localharvest.org .
