Organic/Preservative-Free Foods?

As Ace is getting closer to 6 months old we are starting to think about what we will feed him when he starts solids.  My husband has always been a big skeptic of the "organic" food movement but is willing to consider it for our son.  Do you know where i can find some real scientific information supporting organic/preservative free foods for babies?  Something that is not put out by the people selling the foods?  We really want to make sure we are making a good decision for our son not based on inaccurate information.  Thanks for your help!

    I don't have any links for you, but I guess the biggest thing for me was that I didn't want my child or family eating foods laden with pesticides and chemicals, or genetically engineered foods created by laboratories that control the farming industry.  There really is a lot of information out there if you choose to look :-)   I really could go on, but I will stop here!

    This.

    I have a good intro article about GMOs that I can dig up and PM if you are interested. I found it on the Food Allergy board a few weeks ago.

    In regards to convincing DH remind him that a 6 mo old will eat a very small amount so it is not like you are adding a big expense to your food budget. 1 squash would make several servings for DD when she started solids.

    AND I must say that I am absolutely swooning over your siggy pic! I'm looking at a pic on my desk of DD when she was 4 weeks old and they have very similar little chins. This is not helping with my TTC fever :-).

    I love Environmental Working Group (www.ewg.org). They are the ones that put out the dirty dozen type lists.

    One way I like to think about it is this:

    If you saw someone in your supermarket spray your fruit down with Raid because there were fruit flies surrounding it would you #1 buy it anyway and #2 just give it a quick rinse and munch away?

     Probably not, ya know?  Same thing...

    Oh, totally forgot!  Rent the documentary Food, inc.

    It's really good...I think you'd both enjoy it!

    Absolutely this.  It's a great film.  It's on Netflix streaming too, if you have it.

    FYI, if you have an Andriod or iPhone, there's a dirty dozen/clean 15 app. I've found it very helpful in the grocery store!
