It is disgusting how many pesticides are used on our produce and how much we are shielded from the details of how our food is grown and where it was grown (in major grocery stores). I just wrote an article about pesticide usage on our produce that I think you might find interesting: http://www.shar-on-nutrition.com/?p=508 Would love to know what you think. Feel free to leave a comment! :) Really enjoyed this post and couldn’t agree with you any more!

That statistics should get one thinking. I quite agree with you that the cost of going 100% organic is quite high. But like you suggested, anyone that is serious about maintaining good health should consider a safe mix in the short term while planning on fully organic in the long term. Thanks for sharing. Oh my!

I just don't feel comfortable eating apples which can last up to a year in my refrigerator. I am not surprised to see these pesticide level numbers. Yuck!

That monster company is backed by none other than top politicians because they're being lobbied every year with millions. They're now trying to take over seed distribution which leaves no choice to farmers. They program seeds so that they self destruct and cannot be reused for the next crop. The only way to stop is educate ourselves and try to support organic farmers. I'm currently compiling data about direct link of cancer and GMO crops.

A good rule of thumb that I try to stick by is to go organic on anything that grows in or close to the ground. Thanks for sharing the list!
