Did you pay extra for an Organic Thanksgiving?

My husband and I did. Okay, so not everything we bought was organic, but it was all fresh and local. The turkey, the lemons for zest, the dairy products were all organic. We get an organic turkey each year because they taste better and they are devoid of hormones and antibiotics. Since we will be eating leftovers and making stock from the carcass, we can still eat more healthfully for many meals to come. I always use organic lemons for zest (and for use in my drinking water) to avoid the noxious pesticides sprayed onto conventional citrus.
