Discolsure: I received product in exchange for my post. As always all opinions are my own.
“Organic.” that’s just the latest marketing key word isn’t it. Doesn’t really mean anything. I don’t really look for it.
I choose organic because it is just as good as non-orgainic. If orgainic is on sale, it’s in my buggy. It has to be cheaper or equal to non-organic which it sometimes can be.
I agree. Organic is better quality.
It’s healthier, and better for growing children.
I choose organic because I believe it is healthier
I try to choose organic as much as I can for my family because I like our food to be as clean as possible!
I don’t always choose organic. I like to but I also have to balance the budget so I choose it when I can.
It is healthier for our family
I try and purchase organic whenever possible as I believe it is more of a back to the basics product. One that we would have eaten in the olden days before pesticides and gmo’s. It’s better for us.
