Man has eaten organic for three years

Interesting piece in the NY Times about a doctor that has has spent the last three years eating exclusively organic.

We are not surprised that he has felt more energized and healthier (no sickness even though he is a pediatrician) since he began the journey. There are a few things we wanted to add regarding his comments.

• Difficulty sticking to 100% organic: we always prefer buying organic when possible, especially when eating at home. However, when eating out, you do not have to be as vigilant.

• Cost of living organic more expensive: it is an important lifestyle change. The costs could be offset by minor cuts in other aspects of lifestyle, less doctor visits and medicine, etc. We have also shown in our Low Inflation Diet that there are many organic foods that are similar in cost to conventional.
