I was given the pleasure of my daughter being able to sample R.W. Knudsen Sensible Sippers Juice Boxes. Here is some background on how Sensible Sippers were developed.
In 1961, when Russel W. Knudsen began bottling fruit juices from his organic grape vineyard, he did so on one condition: his fresh pressed and blended juices would never have artificial flavors, preservatives or sugar added to them. This commitment ensured that customers who came up the hill to Knudsen's Paradise, California, Concord grape vineyard could always buy the finest juice available. Little did the R.W. Knudsen Family® know, he was starting a tradition of innovation in health-conscious products.
The R.W. Knudsen Family® tradition of integrity, innovation and variety continues today. The company's commitment to developing health-conscious fruit products based on consumers' needs has led to the introduction of many refreshing ideas. To see a list of all of the products the company has to offer, visit their site: http://www.knudsenjuices.com/.
The Sensible Sippers are a very great 4.23 oz. juice box that are child friendly and unbreakable. They were the perfect size for my daughter, niece and nephew who all tried them. They sampled the apple juice and fruit punch. Obviously, I had to try a sip and I admit that my husband snuck one or two! They come with The Berenstain Bears on the boxes so they are noticable by children. The best part of the juice boxes are that they are 50% organic and 50% water, reducing the amount of sugar in each serving without compromising taste. Sensible Sippers are available in favorite kid flavors: Fruit Punch, Banana, Apple, and Mixed Berry. These juices also contain 40% fewer calories than regular juice boxes. Additionally, Sensible Sippers contain no added sugar, artificial flavors or preservatives, and are certified organic in accordance with the USDA's National Organic Program. You can find these at Whole Foods stores nationwide.

We're not overly concerned about organic foods - I mean, I never ate organic and my parents never ate organic and there's nothing wrong with us. There's about a gazillion other things we have to worry about.
I've blogged here: http://mypreciouspennies.blogspot.com/2008/11/giveaways-galore_17.html
We've just recently started looking into more organic products in our house since our sone was just diagnosed on the autism spectrum. Although it is more expensive there has been some evidence that taking out artificial can help them. So I'm always up for learning mroe about kids organic products. jcavorsi@gmail.com
we try to do organic produce when we can afford it...and our CSA is organic.
Of course, food that is grown and prepared without all kinds of chemicals is the ideal, not just in terms of health but also because it just tastes better. If I could put nothing but organic food on the table, I'd be delighted.
But - let's face it - organic food, desirable as it may be, is a luxury for many of us. Organic food isn't sold everywhere, especially in lower income neighborhoods, and it costs more, often much more. Until some serious changes happen in the way our country produces and distributes food, organics will remain a rare treat, or even a dream, for the majority.

I try my best to have my family eat organically, but it can be hard with how expensive organic food is. I look for the healthiest foods that are within my budget!
We try to feed our daughters organic food as often as possible. Its been shown to have more vitamins and minerals, and conventional food is treated with so many chemicals and hormones. Which brings up the question, shouldn't organic food just be called "food", and the rest of the stuff be called "chemically treated food"?

We got onto the Organic bandwagon 3 months ago. Besides being the healthiest choice for all of us, we only buy cruelty-free chicken, and no more beef. cdziuba@aol.com
I buy organic when I can, but it's still just too expensive. Someday, when there are more organic growers/farmers out there, maybe the price will come down & we can all get on the bandwagon...until then, we do what we can! thanks!
We buy organic when we can. Money is tight so it is not always possible to do so. Thanks for the contest!

I try my best to buy organic food, but sometimes they charge way too much for them. But as far as fruits and veggies i do buy those, because i don't want my kids to eat chemicals.
I'd try to feed my family as much organic food items as financially possible. but I do make an effort to buy organic fruits, veggies, dairy and meat.
Organic is great considering we really don't know how all those chemicals affect our developing children, but for many families, it's a luxury to protect against a "what if" when there are so many other chemicals in our environment that we can't control.
I think it is better for them. So it is kind of important.
rebbi511 at peoplepc.com
I would prefer to eat only organic foods, but I won't pay a premium for it.
To me it is very important that my son get natural food. I make his own baby food and at 9 months he is still a breastfed baby. I love that he is getting all natural food.
Oceanview63@sbcglobal.net
I think it's important to try and limit exposure to too many chemicals. Sure, some exposure will probably not be harmful, but constant exposure seems like it could very well lead to problems. The whole axiom of better living through chemistry has been taken way too far. There are easy ways to limit how the exposure of my little ones to chemicals such as eating organic. It doesn't hurt anyone for me to live more naturally and eat organic, so why not?
exosquish@yahoo.com
Organics seem like a luxury, but particularly with a child, I feel good trying to limit the toxins going into his body.
RLCGALLOWAY at msn dot com
ensuring my child eats healthily and organically is very important.
your never know what the put in foods these days, but organic lets me know its safe for my child
What I feed my daughters now can affect their future growth and development.
We went organic long before my little boy was born so he has been organic since birth. No chemicals and healthier boy!
tvollowitz at aol dot com
organic foods are so much more healthy
Organic is the way to go! It's comforting knowing exactly what in or on the foods we ingest.
I try my best to get organic fruits and veggies for my son. I find that organic milk tastes "cleaner" and I feel better knowing that there are no hormones in any meats/eggs that we eat.
Habits and patterns become ingrained during these years. What could be more important?
we buy organic whenever we can and as much as possible! I think that feeding our children can curb alot of illnesses including cancer and i want to give them the best chance! It's so important that we get all of these chemicals and hormones out of our diet.
i blogged about your giveaway at:
http://delectiblemommies.blogspot.com/2008/11/gobs-of-giveaways_17.html
it is important for them to understand the importance of what organic means more than actually getting them to eat/drink organic
Its important to eat healthy
its important if its genuine organic not just labeled but I want to know what chemicals my kids are consuming
It's very important for my kids future health!

Not everything we eat is organic-wish it was-I think it's great to start a child out eating foods that are natural and not full of chemicals.
I like organics food to try & get rid of all the chemicals & added hormones etc in food.
It's somewhat important to me, but I don't stress about it.
Wherever possible, she gets organic food. It's hard enough to get a good, healthy start with all the chemicals and pollution all around us.
all the added hormones in food really scare me so i like my son to have as much organic as possible
autumn398 (at) yahoo.com
We don't do all organics, but I do buy organic some especially when I have a coupon.
Being on a tight budget makes it hard to buy alot of organic food, but with comparing prices and using coupons we do what we can. We also garden in the summer so we are able to can and freeze alot of fruits and vegetables which last for a majority of the winter. I just try to make sure we don't have alot of processed foods in the house and plans out our meals in advance so I can monitor what the family is eating.
Thanks for an amazing giveaway!!
We try to eat as much organic as possible to the wallet :)
I would love to be able to afford to buy all organic for my family, but I at least make sure to buy organic milk and eggs. There are a lot of illnesses we can't explain, maybe the chemicals we consume are the culprit.
Thanks for the giveaway!

I bet this juice is really good. I have 5 children who all love juice and I know that this organic juice would be better for them. Thanks for the giveaway.

i prefer only organic products for my little one.
I try to buy organic dairy, fruits & veggies, but mostly I try to make all our food at home. That way, I know exactly what's going into our meals!
My son loves the green plant food drink the make.
I do like to buy organic but I can't always afford them
tiramisu392 (at) yahoo.com
love organic, but not always possible with this economy
I had my second child I started reading about the importance of organics, so we went all organic with him, and his health compared to his older brothers was phenomenal!
I think organic food is great, but I wish it was on sale more often!
Organic is great, but I usually cannot afford to go totally organic!
I buy organic whenever I can. There are alot of good coupons out there. But with 5 kids, value is the #1 priority.
I've been making my son's baby food from organic. I love that it's still no more than 1/4 the cost of Gerber's non-organic baby food (and it tastes better!).
Juice boxes are like kid crack...my kids love them.
We try and use organic foods whenever possible for our fam ( 4 kiddos and 1 on the way!).... I have actually been wanting to try this out ( we are lovin Apple and Eve juice right now...) but with a freebie and the store that is close to me carries this over the other PERFECT!! thanks much
ktwalser@yahoo.com
Organic is so expensive, but would love to buy it more often!
rawallace2005 at yahoo.com
I don't particularly buy organic but I do enjoy feeding my family from our own homegrown garden. It feels good to know where it all came from and to taste the fresh! lovemylittlefamily at yahoo dot com
As a mom it's very important that my little one gets the nutrients that she needs from her food...something that isn't always there when it's highly processed. We can't always afford organic, but I try to feed her as healthily as possible.
I buy organic if I can afford, which is not all that often. But I do prefer to serve my children foods in the most natural state possible.
perdita300@hotmail.com
We only feed our children organic. They are bombarded with enough toxins elsewhere. The first comment said that "there is nothing wrong with us" even though she didn't eat organic. Yet disease in this country (cancer for one) is on the rise without a great explanation. It is not the same world as our parents' and grandparents' generations.
It's true that it can be expensive, but we choose to make other financial sacrifices so that we can buy organic.
Thanks for the giveaway!

I'm so concerned about what chemicals go into my child's body through vaccinations, of course chemicals on food worry me. Organic gives me peace of mind.
Organic is ideal! Unfortuanately, mu budget is not! I try when I can. I also try to limit my daughter's juice intact so these juice boxes seem to be a great solution!!
WE BUY AS MUCH ORGANIC AS OUR BUDGET ALLOWS. I HAVE BEEN USING CALTALINAS TO HELP WITH THE PRICE DIFFERENCE.HILARYBUNTING@AOL.COM
We eat organic whenever we can. It's important for our health.
pkildow at gmail dot com
I just try to get my kids to eat fruits and vegetables, organic or not
I try to get organic when it's affordable. I mainly like to get organic veggies and fruit that we eat the skins of - apples, strawberries, red potaotes.
Organic food is important for kids because the chemicals they use on our edibles are ridiculous!
I'm not concerned as much about organic as I am about sugar and preservative content. It's just too expensive for me to buy only organic. I love that these are 50/50 juice and water and have no additives! I would love to get these for my son to try!
I posted about this giveaway:
http://sweepinitup.blogspot.com/2008/11/blog-giveaway-sensible-sippers-organic.html
Well, organic food is on my list of things I want to accomplish some day. I have twin 3 year old and a 7 year old (all boys). I know their diet could be a ton better!
I look at it this way...why would I give my kids anything other than what's best for them? They mean the world to me!
Organic food is so much healthier for kids. I want to incorporate more organic foods into our meals.
I have been trying to buy as much organic stuff that I can. Especially berries, milk, butter, cheese. Yes, it it more expensive, but it is so worth it to me. I do not want my children going through being overweight that I am. All the pesticides, hormones, etc. in regualar food...yuck! We don't need extra toxins in us! Would love to try the organic juice boxes too.
I've seen how these non oraganic products cause so many health issues, so I try my best to use organic.
barbara_powella@yahoo.com
I love it when I can give my kids organic foods--my kids love my homemade applesauce and I know exactly what they are getting. I buy it when I can afford it but try to make what I can organically.
tiffs4stuff@yahoo.com
i think it is important for developing minds.
we try to do organic stuff too but see its just so expensive of course it would be healthier and in these hard times we are trying to do that
I want to make sure the foods that are going into their body are as natural as possible. Organic is a great way to do that.
I love organic foods...but the cost was keeping us away. SO, we started our own garden and are reaping the benefits of wonderful home grown organic produce! I do splurge and buy organic, hormone free milk. I wish every mom would do that for the sake of their precious little girls!
londacrigger at gmail dot com
I wish we could afford to eat organic all the time. We do buy our beef from a local farm. It is so good!
Organic is great when you can. We can't afford it often, so this giveaway is great! Thanks!
i would love to try this with my son. thank you
lprouty@comcast.net
I try really hard to feed my daughter organic foods from the top ten list of foods with the most pesticide residue. If I can buy organic foods for only a little more or the same price as regular than why not? I don't have to worry about MSG, high fructose corn syrup or partially hydrogenated vegetable oil in organic foods. I like the idea of organic foods being better for the earth and using creative ways to replenish the soil and prevent pests and weeds.
jenchemwalz@gmail.com
I feel like I am giving my children the best I can when I feed them organic products. Even though I can't afford them all the time, I try to incorporate them in to their (and mine) diets whenever possible.
alonglifestrail @ gmail dot com
Organic has definitely become expensive...and I sure want to use as much as possible. As long as we are eating more fruits and veggies than processed food, it is a step in the right direction. Sad that 'way back when' all food was organic - before we made it 'better' so it could sit on a shelf for 800 years.
momasaves@gmail.com
I always want healthy things for my kiddos!
I think its very important for my son to drink organic juice for his health and for our enviornment.
I feel that the closer to nature any foods are the better choice always. very parent wants the best for their child and organic is a great choice.
It's unfortunate that it is so expensive and limited in variety.
roblaurablog@gmail.com
I really do try to purchase organic, but I think purchasing local and USA made items are just as important for us presently and for our countrys future!
http://caseydeucesworld.blogspot.com/2008/11/perusing-blogosphere.html
I blogged you!
I am still learning about organic foods and trying to make my opinion about the matter.
I feel it is our job as mothers to instill a value of what you are is what you eat. If we care about what we put in our bodies, hopefully our children will too.
We don't do organic everything, but there are some times organic is better, like fruits and veggies (and therefore juice).
We try to buy organic whenever it is financially possible. I would love to eat every meal organic, I think it is very important. Thanks for the chance to win!
afdsm@hotmail.com
I recently started to look into going organic and would like to try these Thanks for this opportunity.
I think it's very important...but realistically? We can't afford much more than a can of organic peas!!
give_me_a_latte at yahoo
We don't really get too much organic but try to buy fresh fruits and vegetables that are. But I love Mur Glen organic Tomato Basil Speghetti sauce.
organic means no chemicals. why would i ever want to put chemicals in my children?
your first commenter needs to read up on what is put in foods today!
It's very important to eat organic at our house. I'm slowly moving towards 100% organic meals!
I especially try to avoid meat with growth hormones.

I try to use as many organic foods as possible and still stay within budget. Right now I buy mainly organic meats, fruits & vegetables.
I wish I could give my daughter more organic foods, but honestly they are very expensive in my area. So I try to give her healthy foods that are not strictly organic.
Organic food are something of a budget-buster but we spend the extra money where we think it is most warranted- like with apple products. Buying in season helps, as does growing what we can at home. A 3-lb bag of organic apples cost me $2 at the grocery store yesterday!
organic is my first choice when practical :)
blogged it :)
http://sweeps4bloggers.blogspot.com/2008/11/mommieswithcents-slippers-giveaway.html
It's our number one nutrional goal!
Organic is very important to me and I'm slowly finding more and more organic and healthy foods for my family!
Thank you!

rnkristy1@gmail.com
while we can't afford all organic at the moment, i feel it's important so you know exactly what you're truly eating!
We're about %60 organic... with produce,eggs, snacks, and dairy products being at the top of the priority list
I try to buy organic whenever I can but the price doesn't always make that an option for us even though it is something I would prefer. Thanks for the giveaway.
My husband and I are still transitioning towards organic. But, our daughter and son-in-law find it important for their health as well as our grand daughter's health. She (and I) also worry about additives in our foods.
I do the best I can when it comes to buying Organic foods for my son...it isn't always 100% economical but when I am able to I do. The things I buy organic for him always are fruits and veggies and cereals though.

I don't like to think of children ingesting pesticides that we really don't know the effect of. We buy Organic when not too dear.
I try to buy organic as much as possible - especially for my kids. The more I learn, the more I find myself substituting with organic/natural products.
anastacer at verizon dot net
I worry about all the extra chemicals put in food. If they're not there naturally, why should we put them in? Thanks for the giveaway.
Feeding my kids organic products always makes me feel better because I don't worry about toxins, chemicals, pesticides, etc. that may have been used in the growing process. Who wants that stuff going in their bodies?
We are just starting to buy organic products and my daughter has really started to like the taste and I love the variety of things that we have bought like fresh fruits and vegetables. It's hard to believe so many companies that are starting to come out with organic and all natural products. Thanks so much for the great giveaway, I would love for my kids to try these drinks.

I think my sons would like these. I try to buy organic without the "junk" that other items have in it.
I try to feed both of my boys the best organic food there is out there so i know that I am feeding them healthy food!
I'm not super into organic. But, I do make sure there are no growth hormones in my children's milk.

As a 3 time cancer survivor, I know how important it is to eat organic, or as organic as you can. If it's important for me, it's important for everyone, no matter what the age. There are so many pesticides, chemicals, etc. put on our food. With fruit coming from other countries, we have no idea what's on that. I've had 2 nutritionists tell me to eat as organic diet as I can. We don't need these chemicals in our bodies.
Babies depend on us to take good care of them. Please, buy organic whenever you can. You & your families won't get chemicals from them.
wofat1@lycos.com
I do think it is important to eat organically, I just wish that we could afford to get everything organic. We spend the extra for the things that are hardest hit with the pesticides. Not just our food, but or lives and daily products need to get back to the basics.
I feel that it is very important to feed my family organically. With the money that we save by using coupons on items that are not available organic and for our health and beauty items we are able to offset the cost of buying organic meats, fruits, veggies and other foods. With cancer and other sickness that are so rampant right now if going organic can keep my kids from going through that then I am sooo willing to pay more.
I try to encourage environmental awareness. That is why organic food, clothing, ect. is important in my home. I want my son,Kaden, to have a clean world to live in as well as my grandchildren (eventually, i hope).
I would love to afford all organic food, but currently cannot. Thankfully, there is an Amish run grocery store about an hour away from my home that I visit once a month just to be able to buy as much organic food as I can at a significantly reduced price.
We are most concerned with fruits and vegetables and milk and meat products. I love organic food, the food to me always tastes better and you never wonder what you're really eating.
aliciabrooks84@yahoo.com
I buy organic when I can get it......I plant a small garden and raise organicallyle
Organic is just so much better and it seems to make her feel better.
We buy organic as much as possible. We joined a local organic CSA this year. We are trying to make sure most of what we buy is either organic or local...preferably both but alas it is not a perfect world!
We are definitely an organic family. I'd love to win these!!
I always buy organic when it's an option. Im so glad to see it so readily available more and more.
Very important, we but almost all organic food for them
Not all markets have organic but a few farther away do and I buy if I can get their. It definitely tastes better and I prefer it, but for the most time I have to use regular because I can't drive 15 miles for veggies all the time. Wish there were stores closer than sell it for a good price.
I think organic food is better for them, so we buy it when we can fit it into the budget.
cookiert at yahoo.com
I think organic food is healthier. no pesticides or yuckies
I think eating organic is probably very important but we cannot afford organic foods. Where I live they are almost twice the price of regular foods.
I like to give my kids organic food when I can because it's better for them in general and doesn't have things like high fructose corn syrup.
I just can't stand not knowing what all those ingredients are in foods and I don't have to worry or wonder if I just buy organic. I know it's a healthy choice for the kids!
doot65{at}comcast[dot]net
We choose Organic when it finacially viable, but I think something is fundamentally wrong with the world when its cheaper to buy a pound of beef than a pound of tomatoes! Its overall choices that we make that benefit us - but organic is a big plus. Thanks for the giveaway.
Very important!! We eat alot of Stonyfield!!

Organic foods are important because my son is still developing physically and mentally and who knows what chemicals do to the body.
It is very important for my children to have organic foods but with the limited availability and cost of organic products it is not easy to give your children organic products as much as you would like to. garrettsambo@aol.com
it's hard to find organic products here and the ones that are available are three times higher than the regular counterpart so don't buy organic yet. We are putting in our own garden next year which will be organic so that'll help. trinitygsd at yahoo dot com
its very important it leads to better health especially with the obesity rate today :(
We belong to an organic CSA all summer, and in the winter buy about 80% organic. True that in the old days we didn't eat organic...but they didn't use the horrible amounts and types of pesticides, fertilizers, and GMOS they do now. Also, cancer rates and other diseases like autism are rising hugely...do we know that wasn't impacted by the chemicals we ingested as kids? It's pretty blind to ignore those possibilities!
Our organic CSA can be joined using food stamps!
Jennifer, jennem22 at yahoo dot com
I like my grandkids to eat healthy and clean foods.ty 4 the entry and the awesome giveaway!:)
I think the harsh reality of what all these chemicals are doing to us, especially to our kids will come out someday in the future. Our girls are getting bigger and starting puberty earlier (which in turn increases cancer risks). Despite the expense, we only buy organic milk and meats. The hormones in non-organic versions scare me. I strongly believe the expense is well worth it.
We don't do a lot of organics because of the price, but I do buy organic when on special.
legab67156 (at) gmail (dot) com
I've had cancer trhee times. I wish my children had been given organic and hormone free foods since in utero. rosans4@comcast.net
I am always on the look out for better foods for the grandkids.
I like natural, non chemically treated foods so thats why I like it for my family too, way better for you and healthier.skyxsky27[at]gmail.com
