Trudy, It doesn't say no meat or chicken or veggies,etc. it is that you need to opt for grassfed rather than grain fed beef, organic chicken and free range if possible and check the source of the veggies. There is a list of which fruits and veggies are sprayed most and which are ok without having to look for organic. I tend to choose organic for all as that saves me trying to remember. I do remember that apples and berries and cherries are the most sprayed of the fruit.

It does mean rethinking your shopping list and reading more labels, but overall, it hasn't increased the cost much as organic is becoming much more accessible.

We have also reduced/eliminated our grain and sugar consumption and eliminated wheat which has been much more of a challenge. But it has been a worthwhile shift health wise.

Here is the link to the list of what to buy organically.
