We eat only organic or locally produced meat at home, it means we eat less meat as it is more expensive but thats ok. We also eat vegetarian when out at restaurants unless they are able to state the source of their meat. The only time we eat non-organic meat otherwise is at peoples houses when they cook for us. I am quite passionate about making ethical and sustainable meat and seafood choices for me and my family but it can be hard and expensive to do so. Worth it though I think!

Yes, it's more expesive but I think it's better to spend more money on healthy food than spend money in the drugstore for different pills. It's not easy find organic meat in the supermarket so I try to find local farmers who sell only organic meat. I always buy only organic meat for my daughter because it’s more healthy.

I can "digest" that! Too bad we don't have Whole Foods in our area I agree with your comment about trying to limit processed food and make things from scratch. We are all pressed for time; however using the kitchen time as family time is a great idea. Wow, that’s a pretty good deal; about $2.6/lb. I can “digest” that!

(At least not enough to make me go out and get a tofurkey in protest.) We try the organic path, and have found it is much less expensive if you make as much as you can from scratch. Of course, there is an opportunity cost associated with that, but I use it as a way to teach my kids to cook. Tonight my little guy, 19 months old, helped in the kitchen for the first time, which was very exciting. His sister is a kitchen veteran, so he was doubly motivated to assist. Thanks for coming by my site earlier, I am enjoying looking around yours.
