I'll check out that site. 

Apparently it is legal to sell raw milk to humans in a few states, just not in most.  Where does your daughter buy her raw milk that is labeld for animal use?

Goat milk is good....but it's sooo freaking expensive in the store!

Do you think goat's milk is better than cow's milk?  In what way?  I wonder if my grocery store even sells goat's milk?

 Yes I buy organic. I generally buy all organic products, when I can. There are certain products that are much better as organic. Here's a list of the top twelve foods that should be bought organic becasue they have the highest pesticide residue:
1 Apples
2 Celery
3 Strawberry
4 Peaches
5 Spinach
6 Nectarines
7 Grapes
8 Bell Peppers
9 Potatoes
10 Blueberries
11 Lettuce
12 Kale/Collard Greens

I have never been to a local farm, but I go to a farmer's market pretty often. I find that the event of going to a farmer's market is very fun and relaxing, and the food is often still warm from the garden. I don't always buy my produce there, but it is a good option for sometimes. 

I buy cage free eggs, and hormone free meat, again whenever possible.

I've never made my own yogurt, but I would love to hear how it goes for you! 

Since I am in college and still being supported by my parents, I am able to eat pretty much all organic. My mom and I drive an hour and a half each week to go to the Whole Foods nearest us.

I have eaten organic for the last ten years or so, so I cannot really remember the difference in what I felt. 

One thing I find very important is cloroxing foods. There is a certain measurment, (I believe 1 tsp to every three gallons of water) that is mixed with foods. I do this with just about anything. Produce, eggs, etc. This way, when there are outbreaks of any E. Coli or such, it does not affect the food I eat.

Also, I find that some RNY products are hard to find organic, so I will say that not everything I eat is organic. For example, on my surgeon's plan, I have to eat yogurt with less than 20 grams of carbs. The only yogurt at Whole Foods that meets that requirement is Children's yogurt. Also, sugar free items are not organic (At least I haven't found any for the most part). Such as pudding or jello. So those I buy conventional.

 This year has been a strange year for me having moved in May..being homeless (basically we lived in our camper) for 2 months and then getting into our new house in July.  Then having an operation at the end of August.  I didn't have time or the place to put in my normal garden and i didn't have much of a chance to go to farmers markets or pick your own farms this year and i am missing the fresh local vegies.  I did get in on some newly picked corn and some cucs and thats about it.  
In the summer i always buy local farm produce.  Here you can find it all over.  But like Kelly, its mid september and almost all thats left is pumpkin.  I will next year try to grow green beans and can them myself.  I usually buy apples on the trees (honeycrisp) which are the best and its a tradition with my daughter to do this every year.  
I also love to cook which is why i am always asking for recipes and sharing recipes.  I dont' worry about organic because its to expensive and i am not sure what i am really spending the extra money on.  If i could buy a side of beef and/or pork from someone local.  I mean i could but its spendy but i would rather buy local.  

I grew up on the stuff! Didn't realize then the benefits and organic, natural foods have improved so much over the years!
I was reading a book that says our bodies function best when fueled by foods as close to the source as possible! The body responds better and is able to break foods down better that aren't full of chemicals and processed crap! When I do eat organic I honestly do feel better! Less slugish, less bloated and overall just better! Its expensive but farmer's markets, co ops and other local resources are valuable! I'm allergic to soy so that cuts out a lot of options but veggies, meats, milk, eggs that are organic always taste better! Farmer's markets seem to be affordable and it's a good way to support local economy.
Have you seen Food Inc.? Its very interesting and gets you thinking about what's in our food! I really wish healthy, organic eating was more affordable! If it were that's what I would be doing for my family! It's worth it of course but realistically you have to be able to afford it! It's doable with careful planning and budgeting.

Yeah, I did see Food Inc.

One thing I read suggested that eating all or mostly organic was not more expensive if we were willing to buy whole foods and prepare things from scratch.  Like, if you want an organic mac n cheese mix in a box and organic canned soup, that's going to be expensive.  But if we are willing to buy all the organic ingredients and make the food ourselves, it is not so expensive.

That's true! It takes a little more time and effort but making things from scratch can be more affordable and healthier! You control what goes in whatever you're making! It's not to complicated! I like homemade sauces, soups, anything better than boxed or canned! Even things like blue corn tortillas are pretty easy to make and taste great!

When I was a child, I could not stand the raw milk at my granny's house. She milked the cows, and strained the milk through a cheesecloth into a huge glass jar (gallon size or more). The cream would rise to the top. I would go all summer without drinking milk!

I have my own chickens, so we get loads of fresh, organic eggs each day. However, I have not tolerated eggs very well after my surgery. My husband loves them, though.

Buying organic does take more time, energy, planning, and money. Since we are eating less, maybe the money does not have to be so much of a factor.

That is a lot of questions.  

I garden each summer and we eat out of the garden.  Whatever is in, we eat.  Which may mean that we eat something for a month, almost every night, then it is done.  I freeze the excess.  I don't buy organic seeds unless they are easy and about the same price.  I use my manure, composted as fertilizer and don't use pestisides. 

I don't shop at the natural food stores in my area.  The cost is way more than normal groceries, but I buy very little but meat and dairy. I really spend very little in the grocery store, expecially in the summer.   I used to make my own yogurt, it is easy but one more thing to do.  Some of my groceries have organic sections and I do look there, depending on the prices, buy or not.

I will shop the farmers stands for veggies or fruit I don't grow that is in season.

I have friends with chickens and get eggs from them when I can but I don't buy special eggs from the grocery.  don't buy organic meat unless it is on sale.  But a friend buys a side of organic beef each year and that works well for her.  I just never seem to have enough room in my freezer.
