I wanted to make sure everyone got a chance to read her words:<br />Dawn <br /> Buying organic is not always more expensive, you need to be in the right location though to capitalize. (Whole Foods, local farmer's markets) Due to the fact that I buy for a family, I always comparison shop organic versus conventional. Right now, conventional and organic bananas are the same price at Whole Foods.<br /><br />To aid in making your decision about when to go organic, if you can't afford to always, this is a list of the most pesticide laden foods:celery,peaches,strawberries,apples,blueberries,nectarines,bell peppers,spinach,kale,cherries,potatoes and imported grapes.<br /><br />This is a list of the cleanest conventional foods: onions,avocados,sweet corn,pineapple,mangos,sweet peas,asparagus,kiwi,cabbage,eggplant,cantaloupe,watermelon,grapefruit,sweet potato,honeydew and melon.NVhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17267219296647761938noreply@blogger.com
