Doing the right thing

I’m buying organic now. Last week I bought one cos lettuce from Asda (that’s a fairly large, oval growth) for 98p. It was good as in nothing wrong with it. I also bought a cauliflower. The difference between the organic and non organic version was 10p due to a special offer in Waitrose. That was good too although I don’t think it was anything special taste wise.

But the star buy was 4 pints of semi skimmed milk. That was so good and so relatively cheap I feel like shouting about it from the roof tops. It actually tastes BETTER than non organic milk. Richer, somehow, despite the fat content being the same. Apparently the fat is also infinitely healthier in organic milk. I may have to get myself a cow now and start a home dairy. Maybe I could get a genetically modified small one to keep in a play pen in the spare room. Or is genetically modification just as bad as being non organic?

I don’t eat battery eggs or chicken because of the cruel way in which they are treated but am I the only one who is struggling to do the right thing here? On a budget?
