An Organic Experience!

I watched the movie Food Inc. a couple of weeks ago and I walked away from that movie resolved to make better (healthier) food choices whenever possible. Well today I went grocery shopping and bought all organic foods including meats, veggies, bread, milk, cheese, and eggs.

First impressions...the food certainly was more expensive than just buying the stuff in the grocery store. I also found that I had to go to more than one place to find different things. I think after today I have a better feel for where I can get different things like the best bread, milk, fruits/veggies, etc. There is another organic butcher in Tulsa that I'd like to try out but I didn't get out to them in time today...I'll have to hit them later on this week.

I must say that the food has a much richer flavor. Also, it tastes more like it did back when I was a kid. One key example would be the wheat bread that I ate this afternoon. It tastes the way wheat bread used to taste to me as a kid which convinces me that they've been modifying the stuff in the store.

I've also noticed that I get fuller faster on smaller portions.

I'm cooking dinner tonight and I'm looking forward to getting the free range meat that I have tonight. I have a choice between the chicken and the beef...yummy.

While the food was more expensive I can't help but walk away with the feeling that I'm doing the best thing for my health by doing this. Here's to a good and healthy meal...Cheers!
