Switching to Organic food - Not so fast .. or easy!
Sunday, April 28, 2013 at 9:27PM A video is worth a million words..
After realizing that even Greek Yogurt is now Corn starch instead of Milk we tried to switch to Organic waffles and real maple syrup instead of the corn (GMO?) rich waffles and Aunt Jemina Corn syrup (which a lot of FB posters said was GMO corn based).. Day 1 was a struggle and we pretty much said "ok.. tomorrow is another day!"
Day 2 was captured in video. They are soooo hooked to the taste and sweetness of the corn syrup that it is not easy for them to switch to something healthy.
I ended up eating the organic waffles for the last two weeks and it was okay. Yes, it tastes different and it is definitely not as appealing (as in, wants you to keep eating more!) but it did make for a decent breakfast and once I went to work, the feeling that I was still hungy was gone.
This has nothing to do with affordability of the food. It has to do with additiveness of the food. Think this "bliss point" thing is a real deal!
For now, we are back to Aunt Jemina with 50% of the quantity they used to have before.

It is interesting you say that. My husband and I switched to organic about 5 years ago (we were living in small town hippie new england, so it was a no-brainer to switch). the other day, there was an emergency at 5.00 in the morning and so we had to get bread, milk, and cereal from the only open store that didnt have an organic option. we hated it. the milk we couldnt tell the difference, but the bread and the cereal we just couldnt eat. the cereal tasted chemically (I am absolutely not making this up, or trying to be a snob). we ended up throwing it out and I HATE throwing things out. the point being, I think you get used to certain tastes and changing it is hard.
