[QUOTE="catsclaw227, post: 5567559, member: 14197"] If you are already eating healthy and are in shape, then organic will cost you a bit more, yes. I was referring to my experience in making a lifestyle change. Though you would be surprised at the chemicals that are used in and on non-natural or organic foods. I mean, they can't be all that good for you, can they? I find the same thing at our Whole Foods, and even at my Trader Joe's. The house brand is comparable to anything at the conventional grocery store. And even my Harris Teeter (local conventional grocery, though slightly higher quality) has a naturals brand (and organic) that are less expensive than other organic brands. Interestingly, our Whole Foods is packed during the same times our regular grocers are also busy. They have a good manager, so they do a good job of Just-In-Time inventory control of their produce, so it's almost always very fresh. It's also likely busy because it's the only one in our town and people flock there for their health foods. (There or Trader Joe's) I wish we had a couple of nice healthy, family, independent markets like my sister has in Tucson, but we don't. [/QUOTE]
