I know all the organic stuff is really complicated, but the bottom line is that pesticides are fat soluble so they are stored in fat, so animal fat is the biggest source of them...this is part of the reason why low fat/non-fat dairy and meats are so much healthier.

The less I learn to really eat the more shocked I am when I go out to some of the big chain restaurants and see what kinds of servings they provide me...sometimes I eat the leftovers all week! Wow.

I think if everyone just does a little bit to contribute and get in that mindset it will make a significant overall impact without having to personally sacrifice a great deal...thanks for stopping by!

Well it takes a great deal of water to really produce any food, but animal foods obviously use more water than vegetarian foods. I am not vegetarian, I simply try to limit my meat intake to one meal per day for environmental reasons. Yes, organic is expensive, but sometimes it isn't. I have noticed that at times a few things are the same price or sometimes less if they are on sale. Buying the organic foods of the season is usually the simplest way to make it affordable. You can also get produce boxes delivered each week from an organic farm nearby which is a simple way to eat the foods of the season while increasing organic produce in the diet as well as support organic farming. You can usually get a box of produce for $25 a week. So that is a place to start! Hi Lori!

Wow! With the price of gas going up and up and it causing groceries to go up and up, eating organic is becoming even more challenging! I never buy organic dairy, whereas I do other things. Maybe I'll switch.... Thanks for all the useful info. I had no idea that pesticides concentrate as they move up the food chain and that dairy, eggs and meats are the more important organic purchases.

And I agree, keeping ourselves healthy is a simple way we can contribute. I don't know about being fully vegetarian or buying only organic food, though.

Like Cath, I too am amazed by your statistics on milk production. Who knew?? Are non-dairy milk products as good of a source of calcium as the real thing? I know they're calcium-enriched but to what extent? As far as the less meat is better...my family eats quite a few vegetarian meals each week. Organic foods though...yikes, with the cost of regular food who can afford organics? Looks like I've got to find a way to make some money...any ideas? Great, useful information!

I think every day should be holiday. Life would be so much more fun that way :D Yes, cutting back on milk (looks around paranoid that the dairy people are going to be mad...) is a good thing for the environment as well as for most people, especially those with allergies and digestive problems.

I don't really want to give up eating meat either, but I limit it to one meal a day. Really we all eat too much meat and it is hard on our kidneys and giving us osteoporosis. Less is definitely more.

I had no idea that there was such a thing as Earth Day. There's so many different days now that it's difficult to keep up with them all. I'm shocked - I had no idea so much water was required to make milk. I really would like to cut out cow's milk altogether and from what you're saying - it sounds like it would definitely be worthwhile. Hi Nicole - Love the pic.
