Must Buy Organic Produce

All of us are at different places in our organic journey... here is a good jumping off point for those who are just starting out. 

Time and again, research has shown that there are certain foods that are most affected by pesticides. These are the foods that we should uncompromisingly buy organic. It's true that it can be pricey, but faced with the alternative of exposing ourselves and our children to the harmful effects of pesticide residue... I'd say it's worth the extra few dollars a week. Check farmer's markets, farm stands, etc... to compare prices.
