I'm so bored of all this organic living

[Pruni]

It does take some of the fun out of life, doesn't it?
All that hand-wringing over food miles and fair trade.
Reeeaaalllly boring.

Non-MRM, GMO-free, from organic free-range pigs?

and a nice iced easter gingerbread biscuit.

Go to McDonalds. It'll remind you of all the reasons why you got into this organic living business in the first place.

Bake something! Our home is never w/o homemade goodies! The latest are cream-filled sponge cakes. I'm going to make chocolate brownies tonight.

Expat top idea but I'd be the size of a house!!
I think this is all because we got a pack of sprouts in our veg box, I felt compelled to finish them, and they just ain't sittin' right.

compost them! (the sprouts that is)

HMC it is heresy but I can't be arsed

sucked in by the Mumsnet propaganda, I almost bought some quinoa yesterday from the supermarket until I noticed:

1. it cost £3.89!

and

1. it had a picture of a llama

so I suspect it wasn't sourced locally

I recycle, use washable nappies (for that read "am up to my elbows in p*ss once a week), worry about food miles & packaging, agonise I'm not feeding my children properly, trek to the farmers' market every week, feel guilty about putting the central heating on, or using water when I brush my teeth , & sometimes I just feel suffocated by the smug middle-classness of it all. I really wish I were the type of person who doesn't give a stuff - life must be so much easier for those people. Why can't I be a Daily Mail reader? To have that kind of moral certainty must be very comforting...

I know, Scampadoodle, it sucks. Then I find myself agonising over clothes, and trying to source right-on T-shirts that will also flatter my norks.

I made chocolate crispy cakes for DD1's class today out of organic ingredients

I've managed to stave off the clothes guilt, mainly. Dear god, I can't cope with another neurosis...

(trudges off, hands wringing, in her [organic, natch] hair shirt]

I can give you a lovely list of fair traded and organic sites should the urge to wear Ethical Pants (as I do) overcome you.

Bloody Hell Harpy, which shop was that in??

But I am going to get a pair of vegan birkenstocks this year!

Sainsburys MT
it was in an aisle with which I an Umfamiliar
I was looking for the Crusha

It's much cheaper in Tesco's - but that's not very fair trade minded is it?

Tescos
MT go wash your mouth out tsktsk

I am still searching for organic hula hoops. They always seem to be out of stock at my local shop.

maybe you could just write it on the packet in biro franny

You're a top girl, HC

:o

Crikey, get a life girls!

I do recycle a fair bit (and try very hard not to drive my plastic bottles to the bottle bank unless I am driving on somewhere else!) but that is about it.

What difference do you really think you are making? Sounds like you will all have hernias and high blood pressure worrying about it all and will start costing the nation more in health care than you will save in anything else.
