Orangic Vs. Processed Foods: Which do you prefer?

you're right dilbert- organic is more exspensive: free from pesticides & preservatives, crop loss is common because of this, so they charge more $.

trekker, late 1900's when the "low fat diet" came to light and everyone jumped aboard, obesity numbers started climbing because everyone was worried about fat and started eating more carbs and sugar instead. fat is NOT bad for us, our bodies really need it, just have to be careful about portion sizes.

"Eat Food. Not too much. Mostly Plants." There ya have it

I guess it goes back to "ya gotta do what ya gotta do to do what ya gotta do"...lol
I feel better and look better these past 5 years than I have ever felt!!

Yes you do Dallas.. I hope I look as good as you do later on down the road hot mama!

Now the delimma for us guys that eat processed food ladies does that mean the protein is also processed. I saw on another thread that eating pineapple imparts a sweetness. Just curious.

Almost nothing in my house is from a box. It was fresh, from scratch food when I was a kid, and it’s fresh, from scratch now.

My meat need not be organic because I eat meat that was naturally fed, such as grass grazed only beef. The grassland need not be organic. Grain feeding beef isn’t good for the cattle. It creates a bacterial in their multi-stomach digestive tract that has to be treated with antibiotics. I also make sure all my meat, dairy and egg is labeled antibiotic and growth hormone free.

I only eat cage free chicken and eggs. I worked on an egg farm when I was in high school, and I could never eat something that came from those deplorable conditions.

I eat wild game and fish when I get it form my hunter and fisherman friends. In fact that’s the first to go in my house.

I eat only whole grains unless it’s my homemade meat sauce. Then I buy the imported, overly processed and yummy pasta angel hair pasta. That was HARD to give up: white flour pasta.

Raw foods as I can. Pretty much that is salads and nuts. I could never go the whole-hog raw, vegan thing.
