Some of you know that I have more than a passing interest in environmental issues, BUT I also understand that lifestyle choices need to be practical. Here's a neat article M sent me from the NY Times about how switching from conventional to organic versions of five foods can dramatically increase the amount of organic food the average American family eats. Sadly, we eat very few potatoes and almost no ketchup or peanut butter. Maybe as T ages?

Update: After reading this, a friend emailed me that she and her family had enjoyed making many of these changes, but that they had a hard time with organic peanut butters. We don't eat much peanut butter, but I remembered reading an article rating various natural peanut butters. Let me know if you agree with the article or have other favorite brands. As T gets older, I expect our peanut butter consumption may increase.
