Organic or Not?
When it comes to produce should you buy organic or not? Well, it depends on what you are buying. Some produce naturally needs very little chemical fertilizer and pesticides to survive just fine, therefore these products are okay to buy non-organic. Other products, however, receive large amounts of chemicals regularly and should always be organic. The lists below were compiled by The Human Ecologist magazine and are an updated version of what I have sent out in the past. Read the full article here to find out why avoiding chemical pesticides in your food is extremely important to your health. The Dirty Dozen should be bought organic. The Clean Fifteen can be bought non-organic due to low pesticide levels.
The Dirty Dozen
Apples, Celery, Strawberries, Peaches, Spinach, Nectarines (imported), Grapes (imported), Sweet Bell Peppers, Potatoes, Blueberries (domestic), Lettuce, Kale/Collard Greens
The Clean Fifteen

I don’t know what the deal was, but this was a total beatdown for me. I was slow (obvi) and steady but I had to go home and lay around for hours! Now I need a nap. It was like after my 101 days all over again.
