If you could afford to only go organic in one section of your life... which would it be?[Poll]

I voted meats. I grow most of our veggies and pick a lot of wild fruits for free. We don't drink a lot of milk, so I would buy organic meat if I were that budgeted.

I voted fruits and veggies. We eat so many, I can't imagine not doing organic. We get our meat from the Farmer's Market, it's not organic but it's grass fed and I know the farmer doesn't spray his grass or feed GMO hay in the winter. We don't use much dairy, and I could get that locally if I really had to.

We don't buy meat. It all either comes from H's hunting or my grandfather's home-raised beef. We also aren't huge on dairy, so I said fruits and veggies.

I voted fruits and veggies. Dairy isn't a necessity for us, and we very rarely eat meat, but we eat a TON of fruits and veggies.

It's a tricky scenario.

Dh is a huge milk drinker, and that was where we first went organic only. It was a really easy change and not a huge impact cost-wise since it was only one item. We've also had great luck at finding "manager's special" organic milk in our local store, so that's really helped w/ cost.

Fruits and veggies are heavily treated with pesticides, but I think if I couldn't make a full change I would focus on the "dirty dozen" for organic and continue to buy the rest conventional, especially if that meant extra money to buy other items organic.

The last kink is that meat is, by far, the largest environmental impact, so if that's of huge importance to someone personally that may be the place to start.

I would buy meat/dairy (I consider them to be the same thing - cows/goats in the food chain shouldn't be modified) and then grow my own fruits/veg.

Grain...that's a toughie. It's what I would sacrifice.
