I’m glad you are still
following our journey. I received
numerous questions from my last post which I’ll share here as it is what most
people ask me quite often.
Q) It must be quite hard making the change?
A) Not really, it’s
actually taken us almost 2 years and we are still on our journey.
Q) It’s taken you 2 Years!!!
Why so long?
A) There’s no rush,
take baby steps and the go with the pace you are comfortable with. Rome wasn’t built in a day.
Q) Where do I start?
A) Wherever you
like. Choose what area you would like
the make change in and set a budget aside.
Q) Eating organic is going to be expensive!
A) Not if you take baby
steps. We started on milk first, and
then worked our way towards other dairy products. Where you would be spending £1 on a 2lt milk
bottle, you would be spending an extra 80 pence on top. We made the change for the sake of our
children; we didn’t want them consuming dead foods.
Q) How do I know if the food we buy is actually organic?
A) There are governing
bodies which approve products which certifies them to label their products as
organic. It’s just as if you was to buy
a toy from the shop, the product cannot say it fly’s if it actually doesn’t,
that would be illegal.
It is the
responsibility of DEFRA and the control bodies to ensure that all of the
standards are being met. Organic producers are inspected at least annually and
can also be subject to spot inspections to ensure they are complying fully. The
control bodies have continuing dialogue between them, through a variety of
forums, to ensure the integrity of the system.
Q) Are their any resources that you can share with us?
