Baby Food.
My stance on this is super-easy.
Organic baby foods are almost always clearly labeled as such.
I don’t have any children, but if I did, this is a no-brainer.
I’d want my child avoiding pesticides, antibiotics, fertilizers, hormones, genetically modified foods, additives, irradiation and the like. It seems obvious that an infant, of all humans, is likely to have the most difficulty with these kinds of additions to the food, and could be the most impacted by them. Their developing bodies likely handle these issues in a much more delicate manner than an adults would, and on top of this, most baby foods are pureed, making the concentration of these additives potentially much higher. An adult eating the whole fruit or vegetable in comparison is likely to have less of a toxic burden.
I would never want my child consuming anything outside of organic, except for those standards that are of course higher; knowing a local pesticide-free grower of foods (or growing myself) and making the baby food on my own as one option.
I would choose labels with “organic” over “made with organic ingredients,” for which the standards on the latter are a lower percentage of organic foods in the product.
The labels on most baby foods seem pretty clear about what you’re getting. And for me, cost would not be an issue. This is our babies health we are talking about, making the expense a total non-issue.
Easy choices on this topic.
