Our Changes...

So it's been a while since we've last posted. A lot has changed since our last posting here. After three weeks on a 100% organic lifestyle, we have realized some important truths.

1. Eating organic has been and continues to be a fun and fulfilling lifestyle change.
2. As a general rule, it is more expensive to buy and eat organic.
3. Bringing organic food to every friend and family outing is difficult and potentially rude.
4. We recommend eating as organic as possible without breaking your budget or appearing to be rude.

The list can go on and on, but we have some changes we'd like to mention. Because we have experienced the above list, we have decided to make tw0 important developments in our lifestyle change.

1) Because eating 100% organic at home is nearly impossible and very straining on our tight budget, we have decided to eat as organic as possible, as often as possible at home. This means we will only not buy organic products if they are out of our price range (example- organic heavy whipping cream to make organic whip cream is very expensive) and/or if organic options greatly affect the taste of food created (example- organic butter changes the taste of bread, pancakes, and other baked items so greatly that we will buy other butter products). This small change will help us stay on the organic lifestyle without it becoming a burden or chore.

2) As it is extremely difficult to bring organic food or ask family or friends to make organic options for us when we go out, we will eat vegetarian when out of the house. You may say, what happened to organic? We have done the research and found that meat products are the biggest violators of the organic lifestyle. Take, for example, chickens. Mass producing poultry companies have genetically engineered chickens to grow fatter and faster, destroying their natural biology while simultaneously bankrupting any and all small family farmers who they employ. Our decision to eat vegetarian outside of the home still contributes greatly to nationwide protest against factory farmed meat.

Sorry there were no pictures in this post. Don't worry though, there will be plenty of cool and funny photos of our organic lifestyle in future posts shortly! Stay tuned!
