People have asked about making the switch to natural and organic foods and I have found the best way to start is to substitute ingredients. Make what you make now so you will be eating what you like (and possibly head off a revolt from less than enthusiastic family members). Use whole grain flour instead of white flour, unrefined sugar, honey or maple syrup in the place of refined sugar, real salt for white, real maple syrup instead of the not real, and so on. Organic produce is easy to find now and isn't much higher in price than conventional. Naturally raised meats and eggs are also easy to find. Once you get started you may want to branch out and make your own bread. Pancakes and waffles from scratch are GREAT as are so many things made at home from real ingredients. After you get started you will find that you are actually spending less on food and, of course, reaping the benefits of good nutrition.
Hope you'll get started! You'll have lots of fun and be eating lots of good food.
