I have been asked a lot about eating organic and what my opinion is. This is a nice little clip on that subject that focuses on some foods related to this subject matter, and every little bit of information is helpful.
This clip is consistent with my thinking.
Eating organic is difficult, but, doing it to the best of your ability, I think is helpful to your health, and therefore, wise. It will save you money in the long run because it will save money on medical bills later.
This is a nice little clip by Dr. Andrew Weil.

I feel so guilty, because we just can not afford organic at all with the cost of IC. I hope one day to be able to afford it, but right now I feel guilt over giving my family and my body pesticides, but what choice do we have, when the money is not there, it just isn't!
maybe you can lean how to
maybe you can lean how to grow some things it saves on money and even if you don't have a big space to do it a lot of veggies can be in containers. I know I ran out of space in my planting beds and just used large pots for my collieflower and a few of my cabbages. Get the whole family involved . I remeber when I lived in my appartement I used one of those big storage tubs put some holes in the bottom and filled it up with dirt. there are also some hanging veggies like cucumbers tomatoes and then beans grow on vines. You may not be able to do beans but your famly can and then you join them later. I used to put some steaks in my tubs so it makes a t p structure and then grow the beans on them. just some ideas to save money. Theres some great mags online like mother eart out there with good money saving tips for living off the grid for free or next to free.

Great Ideas Nicole.
I would love to grow my own,
I would love to grow my own, I live in a townhome with NO yard, or balcony and a very small kitchen, with 5 people. So, I do feel very limited on where I could grow something. Also, i am in a very cold climate for most of the year. I have looked into sprouting, once I am able to have those, I know they only are grown in a jar. My ultimate goal in 7 years is to move to a different climate, where I can have a garden.
search out community gardens
search out community gardens a lot of citys have them sometimes for free sometimes a small fee. its a fun way to meet people and share your crop too. I did this when i lived in LA and it was great bc I met some like minded people and ended up making lasting friends who I still talk to today.
