Your mom was probably raised that way and minimally (if at all) questions what is in the food (ingredients, pesticides, etc), where as you probably question these things and are more aware of "green" (ha ha) eating and its benefits. Just my thoughts. I know where you are coming from... my family basically called me a tree-hugger for eating organic, etc. Whatever. I think it is a matter of questioning our traditions.
