Economics of Healthy Living

Well thanks for making a thread to tell me something I already know aimeecc.

I wasn't specifically talking about organic food though. I was talking about having a whole food diet wherever possible regardless of it's organic status.

It's cheaper and more filling to eat a packet of ramen noodles than it is to buy an orange, particularly if they happen to be out of season. The oranges not the noodles of course.

eta: About the lead in the paint on kids toys, you should lobby your government about not allowing such things into the country. In Australia, led in paint is illegal and toys found to contain led either in the mechanism or the paint are rejected. Of course, that doesn't stop things like bindi beads from arriving here.
