"Organic" food--worthwhile?
posted by Kristen on March 7, 2007 @ 9:26PM

Here's one I don't think we've debated yet! Organic foods: worth the extra money or worthless?

In an effort to lose 10 pounds by Geoff's wedding (thanks for the motivation Geoff!) Over the past month I made some changes to my diet and tried to get to the gym more. Pretty standard procedure. Didn't work.

So about 2 weeks ago I decided to give this organic thing a try. I've actually lost a pound, though I think it's from generally eating better b/c with organic foods it's somewhat hard to eat crap. There's less crap available. It's not killing my budget, so I figure I'll keep to it and see how it goes.

I couldn't help but wonder, what would GJ think of this organic stuff? My guess is that he thinks it's a money-making feel-good scheme. I'm not a PETA person by any means--I freely wear leather coats and shoes and I'm not too sensitive to the idea of animal testing. But I admit that I kind of like the idea that the eggs I just bought came from a chicken that isn't penned up in a cage 24/7 ("free range", according to the label).

So what do y'all think?
