I did my research, and im trying to cut her from most chicken/beef, we will still do eggs, cheese, etc.
What a great idea!

Organic meat is very expensive, but organic eggs aren't so bad, and organic milk and cheeses are common now. I get clowned by some of my relatives for eating organic, but I care about my health enough to invest in the best produce, point blank. Plus it tastes AMAZING- I didn't know certain vegetables COULD be tasty until I tried them from organic local markets.

i have a coworker who has been a vegetarian for YEARS, and since i got pregnant, she's been sneaking in little awesome tofu/soy dishes, and turned me on to several dishes i have given my daughter. she didnt know what it was but she loved them, and that has given me the go-ahead to continue.

i do buy the 8th continent soy milk/chocolate milk, LOVE IT!! (hubby wont have it, he grew up in the country and any milk that aint cow, aint right!) and ive looked into organic fruits and veggies. i think it was the word ORGANIC that had me thinking, oh hell no...its just prissier food that costs more. now i know the difference.

my family growing up never ate pork, rarely ate beef or chicken, it was mostly turkey everything. i am probably going to go back that route...i guess i am becoming a "flexitarian" for the moment!
