ABOUT ME
I remember the day I bought my first organic product. It was not soon after I learned that I was pregnant with my son over 18 years ago. I had been doing some reading about the concerns over artificial growth hormones in milk on the unborn child. Right then and there I started buying organic milk and it is the one organic product that I have been buying consistently ever since.
Of course, being on a limited budget meant that not everything I ate could be organic. Unless I won the lottery, I would have to be happy with small changes to my diet rather than a huge overhaul in my eating plan. And that is when I started turning the clock back to a simpler way of feeding myself and my growing family.
