I remember when our pediatrician told us about organic milk, and how it may have benefits for babies.  We knew all the buzzwords like “pesticides” and “growth hormones” without really understanding the issue of additives in detail.  We aren’t any more informed today, but we still buy organic milk, and it is available right next to the regular milk products in the store.  According to this article, an increasing number of parents are turning to organic foods for their children, even making the baby food they serve.  If you are considering such a change, you are not alone, as CNN reports.

I don’t feel bad that I don’t fully understand the impact of non-organic foods, because apparently the EPA doesn’t either.  They are still working to put the pieces together, and many parents aren’t waiting for them.  There is definitely some thought-provoking information in this article.  One mom makes her children try to recite the ingredients in any food they ask for in the store.  If they can’t say it, they can’t have it.  Interesting concept, but what happens when they are in college and can make their own choices?  Stay tuned.
