Before I started trying to do things more naturally I always thought that the whole organic thing was a hoax, and everything is probably sprayed or has pesticides or added hormones and the organic label was just a money marketing scam to get you to pay more. Well when I started researching I realized all the added benefits of eating things more organically. For example here is some info on organic milk.(This is only one source there is so much more out there!

Ok this is great but is it worth paying double sometimes triple the price! Well my first instinct is no, we just cant afford it. BUT another way to look at is this, if there is a food or drink that you or your children consume every single day or sometimes more than once a day, don't you want it to be the absolute best! Over time those added vitamins and other benefits are going to help you and your child to be healthier, and with a toddler who barely eats any vegetables at all, I need all the help I can get! I think about the foods we eat everyday; Milk, eggs and bread usually. Those three items should be a priority in my family because we consume so much of them! So maybe it is worth the extra money and maybe I could cut back on those expensive fruit snacks or sugared oatmeal packets and do something cheaper in that department to make up for the price of milk. Another great option, look for organic milk on sale! Sales always help!
