For instance, eating out less often and where possible, choosing free-range and hormone-free chicken/eggs, grass fed beef etc. While it may be slightly more expensive, I do feel that the price is worth paying.<br /><br />Thanks for your comments MieVee! They are helpful.Glad to see you here!laissezfairehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11337565536898418947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1614812684801420527.post-67754520827304451932010-01-16T17:00:29.931+08:002010-01-16T17:00:29.931+08:00By the way, we also try to prepare food from raw i...By the way, we also try to prepare food from raw ingredients instead of buying processed food, whether organic or not.<br /><br />For instance, to get soy milk, you may purchase organic soy beans and turn it into soya drink using a soya drink maker at home, thus reducing the possibility of unwanted additives. Or buy 100% organic soy powder that can be added into water to get soya drink.<br /><br />Hope this helps.MieVee @ MummysReviews.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15072066999164946133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1614812684801420527.post-20289425122020272142010-01-16T16:49:28.402+08:002010-01-16T16:49:28.402+08:00We try to support the local or regional organic fa...We try to support the local or regional organic farms, which are increasing production and much more affordable. It is important to recognise third-party organic certification as well.<br /><br />Fraudulent claims could lurk around to tap on the potentially lucrative organic goods market, so consumers need to exercise caution and choose their suppliers wisely.<br /><br />I'd rather purchase certified organic produce for my boy than non-labelled produce.<br /><br />Of course, we recognise that the massive food industry has been subject to various forms of political pressures by lobbyists through the decades.MieVee @ MummysReviews.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15072066999164946133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1614812684801420527.post-31023185158661777812010-01-16T10:51:01.224+08:002010-01-16T10:51:01.224+08:00That said, organic food may not be the answers to ...That said, organic food may not be the answers to this. Think about the carbon footprint incurred just to fly the veg/chicken here and not to mention that some organic food producers make unsubstantiated claims. I used to drink Bonsoy because it claims to use non-GMO, organic soya beans but recently it was recalled for the overdose of iodine content.<br /><br />There are plenty of views for & against organic food. It is not just about affordability but one just has to be more discerning and moderate. <br /><br />Read this:<br /><br />http://www.nytimes.com/2009/03/22/weekinreview/22bittman.html<br /> <br />http://www.nytimes.com/2009/03/04/dining/04cert.html?_r=1Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1614812684801420527.post-80069801304313969402010-01-15T18:53:18.544+08:002010-01-15T18:53:18.544+08:00Thank you very much for sharing something close to...Thank you very much for sharing something close to my heart. I bumped my way into similar information two years ago on PETA's website and many other write-ups. The truth about my food source saddened me and I turned vegetarian. I also try to purchase organic food as far as possible, especially for my 11-month old boy.<br /><br />There are many people who are still unaware of how harmful hormones-injected poultry and corn-fed beef are. Even the milk that we drink may come from hormones-injected cows, unless stated otherwise.MieVee @ MummysReviews.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15072066999164946133noreply@blogger.com
