So as I grew up, I ate the foods my family fed me, which was grown on their own land and harvested and cooked by them. As I grew older and married, I moved to the big city and bought my food in a grocery store, just as most others did. And now I see that all those foods in the grocery stores have been chemically altered, sprayed with pesticides and herbicides and the animals given growth hormones.
I have never been so confused about food as I am now. After getting diabetes last year, I have researched food non-stop and now I want to buy as much organic as I can (or home-grown as I call it), but it is so expensive. I don't live near a farmer's market and don't have a back yard, so I'm looking into maybe ordering organic online or traveling 30 miles a week to pick up homegrown foods. But then I look at the cost and I go, is it worth it? My health is worth it, definitely.
Here is an article from the Mayo Clinic about organic foods. Let me know your opinions and where you shop.
