On Organic Affordability
Environmental Working Group has a list of the best and the worst fruits and veggies in terms of pesticides in produce that you can download--it's a wallet guide you can take to the store with you.
If money is a factor, and lets face it, for 99% of us it is, knowing the twelve "conventionally grown" fruits and veggies that consistently test for almost no pesticides is helpful. Those you can buy at the local market worry free, or mostly anyway. And knowing the twelve fruits and veggies that test for pesticides levels that are above the saftey limit AFTER they've been washed and peeled lets you know what to try to grow yourself or get organic.
This system lets my $$$ go farther. All organic is the best, but not everyone can afford it, I know that I can't, so organic on the worst and conventional on the best makes sense for the have-lesses among us.
As soon as I get a job I'm signing up for Organics to You and looking into Community Supported Agriculture. Unitl then, my pocketguide goes with me to the market.
