Though we were converting to organic food a bit during my pregnancy, we were not very serious about it. If any fruit or vegetable did not have thick skin, we thought organic food makes sense as the pesticides only affect the skin. We didn't know much about genetically modified foods (GMO's).
After a couple of documentaries like GMO OMG in Netflix, and another health issues we thought going organic is cheaper in the long run. Also with a baby, we do not want to eat anything harmful. The only reason that is stopping us from going organic is the cost which really didn't make sense after the hospital costs.
So now we are completely organic. No GMO's. At first we bought organic processed foods, but now, we are mostly free of processed food, all we buy is produce - fruits and vegetables only. And of-course grains, lentils, legumes, beans, corn, nuts, etc. All organic.
Except for my kid, we are dairy free too except for yoghurt. I tend to notice in my baby, whenever I give her milk, she doesn't eat well, she is getting filled up by milk. Though I hate that, sometimes when she does not eat well, and I get lazy, I give her milk never to exceed 16 oz of milk per day.
We decided to go closer to nature and eat how our ancestors used to eat instead of more processed food. A complete stop to processed foods, our alternative to junk food sometimes is deep fried junk food like in India like pakodi, etc.
