[QUOTE="warksfarmer, post: 2177810, member: 192"] [USER=1232]@SilliamWhale[/USER] sorry missed this question. As said I am not anal about it and when we are out and about I don't give it a second thought so things like mcdonalds/pizza's/pub grub/restaurants etc then the kids order whatever they like. However at home then I'm careful what I buy. For example - technically not organic but an example - I no longer buy any fruit drinks like 'fruit shoots or robinsons cordial' because you struggle to find a childs drink that does not have aspartame in it which I think is bad news. So what I do is buy the fruit such as oranges and then juice it up which is the concentrate, then I add filtered water to that to create the drinks. It takes a few mins a week to juice up oranges, apples (farm orchard), pears (farm orchard) etc so is not a chore and not that expensive. 4 bags or large oranges is about a tenner which makes 2 weeks worth of concentrate. You can freeze it so it doesn't go off. Meats I tend to buy locally off farms where I know its history as in I know the farmers. Some are organic farms some arnt. Vegetables are a bit harder but using a local fruit a veg guy (known him for 20 years or so) and ask for organic stuff or local farm stuff. Whatever I make its from fresh ingredients so another example Lasagne made in house rather than buying a pre made one up. All the ingredients, where possible, are local or off the organic shelf. Clearly organic stamped food in any shop may not be organic and I understand that but I'm more about trying to fully understand what I am feeding them rather than turning a blind eye to it. I don't think I am to far away from a veg/fruit patch and some animals in the orchard though if I am being totally honest ............... [/QUOTE]
