Last night I saw Vanishing of the Bees and it totally drove home the fact that I only want to buy organic foods from here out. I’ve drunk the Boulder koolaid, gone off the deep end, joined the cult, etc.
I’ve already been convinced that cows should eat grass, not whatever feedlots feed them (corn, rendered fats, antibiotics, steroids, etc.) and now I’m scared of systemic pesticides in conventional food. When we’re ready to make a baby I don’t want any chemicals in my body that I can avoid. I know birth control is a chemical, but it’s one that I am CHOOSING to ingest and has been proven safe for 50+ years. Pesticides, especially systemic ones that are IN the plant have not been proven safe just not toxic in small doses.
As an office manager/receptionist at I work I have quite a bit of extra time on my hands to surf the net (as long as I don’t have to log into google), so here’s some of the cool veggie stuff I found (other than the organic CSA that I’m a member of):
- Kol and Grow and Behold, kosher organic meats (for those who want to eat meat)
- Organic Valley dairy and eggs
- King Arthur ORGANIC flours
- something I found a long time ago and love, Vegetarian Times
