Organic food worthwhile for small children
Consumer Reports recently informed readers that, because of children’s developing nervous systems, it is probably worthwhile to pay the extra money for organic baby food. Risks to babies are increased because baby foods are sometimes made from concentrated fruits and vegetables, which may increase concentrations of chemicals, as well.
There is a way to get organic foods for babies without it costing quite as much– make your own. A bag or organic carrots is more expensive than a bag of regular carrots, but a lot cheaper than buying a jar of organic carrot baby food. So, for parents who are concerned about cost but still concerned about protecting their children from chemicals, this might be an option.
