I've checked out a couple of sources and most places agree there are about 12 foods that are really important to stick with the organics, they are the most contaminated and will make the most difference in the toxic levels you and your kids ingest. I will just give you the lists and if you want to read the why's I'll provide the links. Just print a little cheat sheet and put it in your wallet so you don't forget. Everyone thinks it's so expensive, but why are we willing to splurge on so many things and not something good for our bodies, especially if the alternatives are toxic and support a form of business that is harming the environment. Also if you buy organic it means it has not been made with Genetically Modified Organisms and also has not been irradiated. If you want some hardcore info read this :http://www.organicconsumers.org/monlink.cfm. , warning this one could get time consuming, but just take a look at whats out there! Also It's not just about what we ingest, it's also about what the farming practices of conventional groceries do to the environment. If we all just picked one thing on the lists to change over to organics, just think of the possible impact...one item on your list.....seriously.
