I help to raise my 10 year old niece and she is a hyper insulin diabetic. We have gone to organic on the advice of her endocrinologist. She told us that non organic foods,particularly meat,are loaded with hormones and can cause excess weight and height gain, early onset puberty and various other things because of the hyper insulin. She told us that basically the healthier her diet,the healthier she will be. We want her to get into good habits now so she can lead a long and healthier life.
As for cost,we find that not buying all the junk and convienence foods,evens it out. You pay a similar price for some organic fruit that you might pay for say a bag of oreos or something.
