Shopping tips

Fallon shares a few last words of advice before sending you off to greener pastures:

  1. Go easy on yourself. Don't be obsessive about going organic!

  2. Make the transition slowly. Don't throw out everything in your fridge and start from scratch; just buy a few new items each time you go to the store.

  3. Join a CSA. Getting fresh vegetables from a farm will encourage you to try new foods for your family. To find a CSA near you, contact your nearest chapter of the Weston A. Price Foundation.

  4. Shop the "edges" of the supermarket. Make whole foods from scratch rather than spend a lot of money on organic processed foods.

  5. Strive for real, whole food, not just organic food. A plain old baked potato with conventional butter is always better than a frozen organic potato mixed with additives or fried in oil.
