I think you guys are comparing apples and oranges - no pun intended..

Yes, if you go to the Whole Foods market and buy only fully organic food can cost a lot more money. At this point we just don't know how bad all these pesticides, fungicides and growth hormones really are.. Or not. (Not good I imagine.)

The thing any person or family can do is eat way less processed food and stay away from corn, corn sweeteners, too much sugar, crappy soy and the rest of the starchy crap they shovel at us.

Mostly, it takes more work - you have to cook more, you give up on convenience, no more fast food and ignore what the advertisers target you with.

Grass fed beef, wild caught fish, free range eggs, RtSB-free milk is not that much more expensive. And at the end of the day, if it is healthier, it is worth it.
