You may be wondering whether you really need to buy organic fruits and vegetables. There are twelve foods that are notorious for being high in pesticides. The Shopper's Guide to Pesticides in Produce™ will help you select which fruits and vegetables are the most important to buy organic. Pesticides can be very harmful to your family's health and well-being.
The Farm Bill is going through the congress and there is no funds allocated to supporting our organic farms. Show your support for our organic farmers and sign this petition. We need to tell congress that we value and prioritize foods that do NOT have pesticides.
