I wish we had a better local grocery store! Our store's organic section is tiny. I should be happy they have one at all I suppose but gah! how am I supposed to change the way we eat when I'm so limited to one little section + produce? the center aisles are nearly completely useless to us now. What I wouldn't give for a local wild oats or a store like the one my husband used to manage - but alas - I live in the middle of the junk food and pretend foods section of the country. I miss connecticut again! I did find some stuff for him though - and in some cases, we'll be trying some of the vegetarian stuff even though we're NOT going veggie - that stuff has less junk in it. I did find a little cookie Wolverine can have - it's got a lot of sugar in it but at least it's natural sugars and not hydrogenated corn syrups and dextrose it's listed as: Sugar and Molasses. It also has no pretend color or flavor and those are the things I'm focusing on for this round. Cut out the pretend stuff and the chemicals (that aren't big fancy names for vitamins and minerals anyway). That's all I'm trying to do. (and make sure that our animal products are manufactured in a humane and decent way.)
It shouldn't be so hard! It really shouldn't be so hard to find companies that are willing to part with their chemicals.
On the plus side - my grocery store DOES carry some of the mrs. meyers products and some burt's bees products. I LOVE burt's bees. Especially their chapstick - it's like blistex but so so much better.
