Organic food??

Hi all. So I have a question. I had WLS on Jan 24th, 2011. I had the Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy. My question lately I have been researching the benefits of an organic/green lifestyle. A lot of it makes sense. I have been putting harmful chemicals in my body all my life. Its crazy what is in our food even the food we think is "diet" friendly. So slowly I am making the change. Most people mistake organic for low fat. It is not. In fact low fat foods are pumped full of chemicals and additives to make them taste better. I am slowly making the change. Whole foods still have calories and fat. Because I can eat so little I am not concerned with this. I will limit the amount of diary and things like that but not eliminate them. So my question is what is your take on this?? Is this appealing to anyone else??

it is amazing how much our food is altered. Due to the amount of hormones Im taking, I actually have an allergy to beef. Technically, not beef itself, but the hormones given to beef in order to plump them up that I seem to be having more of a reaction to. I've actually tested this theory out eating regular beef in stores, as well as free range beef, and there were drastic differences. Needless to say, its made me really start paying closer attention to what Im putting in my mouth.
