Re: Re: Organic versuss Conventional- Strict versus etcetera

I thank you, too, Carol. I may live only 50 miles from Houston, but organic is

few and far between without going " up the road " as we call it. I get limited

vegies at wall mart and some nuts and the health food store, but that's about

it. Meats - forget it. I am looking to find a health food store in Pearland -

between here and Houston and will be checking the local meat markets. Wish me

luck!

I so agree Carol.

My desire is to use total organic and yet many of the items I do not

have available as such and if I do they are just out of reach

financially.

I by drug free meats from a locker plant about 30 miles away. I get

raw goats milk from a friend. She many times has eggs, and butter

for me and she does not us any drugs on her animals. When she

doesn't have eggs or butter I do my best to buy them as organic in

whatever store I can find the best deal, many times Wal-Mart. I buy

my fruits and veggies organic when I can find them and they are

reasonable enough to get them. When they are $5 a # instead of .99

I can not justify it. Our grocery budget is to streched for that.

Thanks for supporting the ones of us that would like to be total og

but can't always manage it.
