Organic Turkey

This Thanksgiving, I really enjoyed my organic turkey. I have never had an organic turkey before. In fact, I have been a vegetarian for the last several years and haven't eaten meet until this Thanksgiving!
Recently, I have wanted to switch to organic meat instead of a strict vegetarian diet. I was very happy when my boyfriend went to the grocery store a few days before Thanksgiving and bought a turkey that was organic. We made our stuffing separately but made sure to put organic vegetables inside for some flavoring.
I am really happy to have had that experience and made that switch. You see, I have been a vegetarian but I was not eating organically. Now that I have eaten an organic turkey, I feel like I cannot go back!
My Grandfather had cancer which is one of the reasons I am happy that I have started eating more organic food. My family is not sure what exactly caused it, but we know that hormones in food are not healthy. Eating organic food helps you avoid that.
I am happy to say that as of Thanksgiving, I have eaten 90 percent organic food! I am proud of myself and have even influenced my boyfriend to eat healthier, since he bought the turkey.
