Reasons to buy organic

According to a February Consumer Reports article, buy these organic items as much as posssible: apples, baby food, bell peppers, celery, cherries, dairy, eggs, imported grapes, meat, nectarines, peaches, pears, poultry, potatoes, red raspberries, spinach, and strawberries.

Consumer Reports draws upon data showing extremely high pesticide, hormone, and/or antibitoic residues in the aforementioned foods especially. Studies have shown that kids' pesticide exposure quickly drops after switching from a conventional to organic diet.
