For me it’s not so much a weight-loss/health thing as a simple gut-reaction to how gross processed food really is. Food INC really ruined fast food for me
That’s great! Some how I am always able to think around things like that. But Fast Food Nation has definitely put me off fast food…for now. I am terrified to watch Food Inc though. My threshold for blubbering right now is so low.
I don’t do any sort of ground or chuck meat anymore. Organic Milk (in carton) and most fruits and vegs. I don’t buy organic cherries or grapes because they are offensively expensive. When buying meat I tend to look for things sold “in the round.” I don’t bother with organic chips or pretzels (I just opt not to eat them at all.) And my canned vegs aren’t organic.
Oh, and I love me some Bush’s pork & beans… and those aren’t organic.
Oh for sure. I’ve spent over $10 on cherries. I was horrified but too embarrassed to send them back. I savored those expensive-ass cherries like they were going extinct.
I am curious. Are you shopping at primarily a regular grocery chain or do you go to co-ops/Whole Foods? We are trying to incorporate more organic, but I almost died of sticker shock at Whole Foods (but, Gawd, the deli is so yummy…and the bakery…and the local cheeses).
I always pretend that I’ll go to the farmer’s market but never do. I’ll either go to the Cub off of 35W and (50th?) or the Rainbow in Eagan (it’s close to work but they have a really crappy organic section).
wow, good for you!!
I feel like a Kardashian on the over of US Weekly.
dang, slim jim. super je-llo.
Haha, JELLO IS NOT ORGANIC!
yes, it definitely is NOT.
(but if you watch jennifer’s body, that will be your new saying too!)
I’m still resisting that movie. First Sorority Row. Then Jennifer. Fox can wait.
you’ll be sorryyyyy
I am 100% for organic eating!!! I wish everyone would realize the benefit.

Hey Jansen,
Congrats man! You’re slowly but surely convincing me to go Organic..
Just rent the movie Food Inc. It’ll do the rest of the job!
I added to my queue on Netflix yesterday after reading this post. Unfortunately, it won’t be available until November.
High demand!
Congrats! Judging by the pics, going organic has also made you less suspicious…
Haha. Yes. Extra benefits!
i snorted at the last comment.
so, tell me more about your organic diet. what do you eat organic? and what do you eat regualr?

yeah. buying organic cherries requires a small bank loan. geeeez.

And all of the canned food is from Wal-Mart.
totally and completely sexy!
