Thank you - I will read the article later this week :) I'm buying almost just organic food because I've got a better feeling when eating. The most important things I ALWAYS buy organic are fruits, vegetables and meat (the last is here REALLY expensive but so I won't eat that much of it - and too much meat isn't healthy anyway ;P)

Oh you are sooo right!! Throw in celiac disease - gluten free everything - and watch the cost climb even higher! MAYBE our nation wouldn't be QUITE as overweight as it is if it were reversed like you said.

I am beginning to think I need to adopt a rule that if I can't pronounce something I probably shouldn't be eating it *chuckles*

It's a shame that eating healthy and "organic" is so much more expensive than anything else. Believe me as someone who lives on a fixed income its darn tough to eat as healthy as you should when the stuff thats good for you costs so much more than the stuff that's not. I mean you can cut corners here and there but for the most part its tough to do. Be nice if we could role reverse and make the healthy stuff dirt cheap and all the crap expensive.
