Organic food or not?

Hi,

It is known that pesticides used by farmers can be damaging to Human health, and that it's advised to buy organic food when preparing food to our LOs, since babies in general have a weak immune system.

However, it's very difficult to find a variety of fresh organic food throughout the year!

How about you? Do you buy organic food to your LOs?

Thanks.

 

No, I do not buy organic.

 

Neither do I.

 

Yes, I did and do. Not everything, but I do the best I can.

 

No, I don't.

 

I live in an area where organic food is abundant. So I get organic. I also make my own baby food. This way I know where the food came from and how it was prepared. I will also test it, because if something is wrong then I will know. With baby food, it all looks gross, so I wouldn't test it, and wouldn't blame them for not wanting it either!

 

I mostly buy organic eggs, meets and yogurt/milk. I also buy organic fruits and veggies, but not always. I do cook my own baby food.

 

Most fruits and veggies you can wash the pesticides off of or if you take off the peel they are gone. I buy organic for things where I cannot do that (green beans, leafy veggies and root veggies). I also buy hormone free milk when I can find it but I don't necessarily buy organic. Kirkland milk is hormone free but not organic and in that case, I am more worried about the hormones than the pesticides.

 

Nope, unless I see a flavor of baby food they haven't tried yet, but I don't go out of my way to chose organic

 

I try but, to be honest, I just can't afford it on a regular basis. So, I just work at serving healthy, unprocessed foods & buy organic when it's affordable.

 

Nope my hubby is a farmer and the pesticides they use are not harmful if you are properly washing your fruits and veggies. I think its a waste of money to be honest.

 

Nope. I've seen lists of foods where organic doesn't really matter, and foods where it's helpful to buy organic. If I could afford to buy more organic stuff I'd follow that list.

 

I follow the list. For the "dirty dozen" I buy organic to make their food, otherwise, I just buy regular.
