The pesticides on some fruits and veggies, like peaches, apples, and lettuce, have tested off the charts. And that's AFTER they've been washed and peeled, etc. Pesticides are really, really bad for you to breathe, drink, or ingest, especially children. I shop with a "Dirty Dozen" list.

Our overall health has improved since we've started shopping organic. My hair is thicker, my and my DH's intenstinal woes have eased considerably, and so on.

I'm not 100% organic, but I do what I can. Not only is it healthier for you and the environment but it can also mean better conditions for the farmworkers who tend and harvest the crops if, in addition, it's fair trade.
