I know the saying is "don't cry over spilled milk" or something like that, but today I cried over just plain milk. I admit I am a girl and sometimes I am just extra emotional for no real reason. Sometimes it is depressing and sometimes it is just funny. Today was a funny one.
I went to the grocery store which I hate doing but I love eating so the food has to come from somewhere. As mentioned in a earlier post I always have a battle inside myself as to whether I should buy organic or not and I had that battle today. I got regular fruit and then I came to the milk. I just stood in front of all the milks for a while and I started to cry because I could not decide what to do.
Do I spend $7 on super yummy, organic milk? Do I spend $5 on just fine milk that says it does not have hormones and stuff in it? Or do I spend $3.50 on just regular milk that may one day give me cancer? (I don't know if it does this but I would not be surprised) I just do not know what to do. I want the organic but I am also VERY aware that gas prices are going up and I am driving more because of my YMCA membership and some good friends moving across town. So I cried and then I got the cheap milk. So silly! I laughed at myself on the way home.
Life is hard being a rich American with so many decisions that it makes me cry huh?
No scientific reports yet that organic has any benefits over non organic. Either way. The only reports out there just say that it is important to have plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables, and dairy in your diet. Save the money and make sure you have plenty of variety. Luv ya.
