    I buy from local farmers that I know don't use chemical pesticides. Freeze them in steamer bags for easy cooking. I think it's actually cheaper. I don't buy a lot of store "organic" items, they are too expensive.

    .

    The only "con" I see is that you have to eat a lot more food to meet you calorie requirements, because this food of course has less calories than the processed stuff. lol.

    I agree! On days I'm trying to 'eat clean' I have a lard time meeting macros just because I'm so full

    Eating clean does not necessarily mean eating organic... There is A LOT of junk out there labeled organic!

    Eating clean means getting as close to nature as you can get... Also making sure to balance macronutrients - which makes sense it would be the healthiest for your body.

    The only "con" I see, is that you have to eat a lot more food to meet your calorie requirements, because this food of course has less calories than the processed stuff. lol.

    I have trouble doing that now too X.X

    For me there is no 'con'. It is ALL 'pro'- feel healthier, stronger, not hungry. It's cheaper, easier, tastes better.

    I bet it does I will go shopping tomorrow

    I think everyone here already covered it. Eating clean doesn't mean going organic... I'll say what everyone else has said, it is about eating whole foods... think what would people eat 100 years ago. No processed foods at all. Fruits, vegetables, lean meats, eggs, legumes, etc... If you must eat bread, make it like ezequiel bread (sp), or at least whole grain bread/pasta.
