WASHINGTON — Erin O’Neal has two daughters and a fridge stocked with organic cheese, milk, fruits and vegetables in her Annapolis, Md., home.
She is among the increasing number of parents who buy organic to keep their children’s diets free of food grown with pesticides, hormones, antibiotics or genetic engineering.
“The pesticide issue just scares me – it wigs me out to think about the amount of chemicals that might be going into my kid,” said O’Neal, 36.
Sales of organic baby food have jumped nearly 18 percent since last year – double the overall growth of organic food sales, according to the marketing information company ACNielsen.
As demand has risen, organic food for children has been popping up outside natural food stores.”
