I really thought I was doing something good for my body by buying organic, but I will think twice before I do it again.Let me tell you why! I am trying really hard to be healthy, which means picking options like salad, instead of junk food. I wanted to be as economical as I could, so I purchased everything I needed to make a great big salad, that I could eat for a few days. When I was at the store getting ready to buy the stuff I needed, I noticed the organic section and thought, why not! I go ahead and buy organic lettuce, organic spinach and all the toppings I need to make my very healthy and organic salad.
I get home and wash everything as good as I can. I even pulled the spinach apart, to get all the dirt in between the leaves. Then I cut everything up and place it in a large Tupperware bowl for easy mixing.
The next day I decided to have some of the wonderful organic salad I just made the day before. I make myself a huge bowl and take a big bite! Everything was going good, until I took the third bite. All the sudden I feel this gritty feeling between my teeth and then I taste dirt! A LOT of dirt. I quickly ran outside and spit it out. The worst part... it was brown! I had just taken a huge bite into a clump of dirt! I was so grossed out, that I couldn't finish my salad. So I wasted all that money and time preparing it, just to throw it away!
I don't know if I will ever make an organic salad again after this. I thought I did a good job washing everything, but I guess not. Oh well, I guess it will save me money in the long run by not buying organic.
