(8,646 posts)I've tried vegan but it doesn't work for me at all as much as I wanted it to (I have grass & grain allergies plus glucose intolerance/hypoglycemia issues). I do mindfully shop - I buy organic strawberries whenever possible (since they are one of the worst offenders) and same with soy and celery (with celery, I just prefer the sweeter organic taste) and I get organic apples from my parent's tree every fall, and I get free-range, anti-biotic free eggs from some lady at my mom's work - as long as the hens are laying - and my mom buys me some produce from the farmer's market so I try. My major issue is cost, since I have 4 kids (I'm a single parent) and I'm in school full-time (no job). Time factors in as well. I just wish they'd label everything so that people who don't have time to research could make snap decisions, and drive the whole industry into more organic/non-GMO foods, which would be better for everyone.
