I recently come home to stay after my second child was born, resulting in a 60% income drop for our family.  I&amp;#39;ve always been interested in frugal living but our recent life changes have made me even more so.  &lt;br /&gt;I cannot express how disappointed I am that you have decided to make these sweeping changes in your food choices.  Although I completely understand your disgust with your recent experience, I would encourage you to look at the research pertaining to organic foods. I, too, went through an organic-food-buying-phase after my first child was born.  However, after doing some research I realized that organic foods are not nutritionally superior to those conventionally grown, nor are they necessarily more environmentally friendly.  Although they are MANY times more expensive. &lt;br /&gt; I will continue to stop by your website occasionally in hopes that perhaps you will reconsider. I encourage you to enjoy the blessing of healthy, abundant, and inexpensive foods we are fortunate to have in our great country. Thank you for making meal planning easier for our family and many others!</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/465229788472894545/5498936905335151830/comments/default/8447021681722214193'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/465229788472894545/5498936905335151830/comments/default/8447021681722214193'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.menumakermom.com/2009/10/usda-certified-organic-what-it-means.html?showComment=1260562335246#c8447021681722214193' title=''/><author><name>mae</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01275226168711068745</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://www.menumakermom.com/2009/10/usda-certified-organic-what-it-means.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-465229788472894545.post-5498936905335151830' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/465229788472894545/posts/default/5498936905335151830' type='text/html'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-465229788472894545.post-8211977780668150329</id><published>2009-12-09T13:35:13.980-08:00</published><updated>2009-12-09T13:35:13.980-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Welcome to wonderful world of organics!
