I'm accepting the challenge! This issue has been haunting me for a couple years now & it's time to just go for it! I must admit that the family is reluctant, so I'm making baby steps. The first thing that had to go was the white bread. The whole grain was even tough for me, but it's funny how you just get used to it. And if the kids want to eat at lunch time, that's their only choice. They learned to eat it after being hungry a couple in the afternoon at school. The other switch I made was organic milk. It had to be done after I read that all the added hormones cna cause early puberty in girls and the antibiotics were assisting in making people immune to antibiotics. Besides the cost, the family actually thought it tasted better.

Then I was horrified when I really started reading labels. You're right, the frosting ingredients were sick and so is the "syrup". Even ketchup, pasta sauce, granola bars and graham crackers, peanut butter, had corn syrups and trans fats, etc. I cleared my pantry of the REALLY disgusting stuff and as soon as we finish the remaining, it will be replaced with whole grains and natural snacks. I've also found that he kids are real happy to try new snacks. I ordered the X-treme Fruits and the kids fight over these. As long as the packaging is fun, the kids will to try it. But, I can't say, here do you want these oreos or do you want these organic sandwich cookies. Of course they will pick what is familiar and a safe bet for them.

There's still a lot of work to be done, but by next year, I plan to learn more and rid my house of certain ingredients.

I have been doing the pantry makeover for the past 2 weeks and have found I have alot of junk to get rid of. When I went to read labels of the foods I had in the pantry, it was a bit overwhelming. Even the arrowroot cookies I have for my 10 month old have hydrogenated oils in them. I can't believe food companies can put these ingredients in our kid's food. My kids were not too fond of the whole beans in a pasta dish I tried but I was able to get them to try the brown rice and white rice mixed together. I bought some quinoa and plan to try it this week. While it has been some work to get the new foods in our house, it has been fun. The kids loved the goodie basket idea and I let them pick out 3 healthy snacks to keep in it. We LOVE the applesauce squeezers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi, I am just starting down the organic path and ran across your website. I love some of your suggestions on how to increase the health value of foods. One problem I have been having is with whole wheat muffins... they are usually tasteless even if I add fruit and spices. I am looking foward to increasing the flavor by adding organic baby food per your suggestion. I'll let you know how it goes !

It all began as we were standing in front of the bathroom wow goldmirror, me fixing Amanda's blonde hair. I said, “I love you, Amandawow gold.” “And, I love you,” she replied. “Oh, yeah,” I taunted1. “Well, I love you more.” Her wow goldeyes lit up as she recognized the cue for the start of another “I love you more” match. “Nuh-uh,” she laughed, “I love you the wow goldmost.” “I love you bigger than a volcano!” I countered—a favorite family phrase in these battles of love. “But, Mom, I wow goldlove you from here to China.” A country she's learning about from our new neighbors up the street.We volleyed back wow goldand forth a few favorite lines. “I love you more than peanut butter.” “Well, I love you wow goldmore than television.” “I even love you more than bubble gum.” It was my turn again, and I made the move that wow goldusually brings victory. “I love you bigger than the universe!” On this day, however, Amanda was not going to give up. I could see wow goldshe was thinking. “Mom,” she said in a quiet voice, “I love you more than myself.”I stopped. Dumbfounded2. Overwhelmed by her sincerity. Here I thought I knew more than she did. I thought I knew at least everything that she knew. However, my four-year-old daughter knows more about love than her 28-year-old mom.
