Pesticides in Produce - What to buy organic....

After having a conversation in the nursery today at church, I thought that posting this website might make sense. I've always wondered if buying organic ALL the time made sense. This website has a "Dirty Dozen" List and the "Cleanest 12" and a longer list of produce items that are rated according to pesticide toxicity. I've used it to help me know that passing up the "organic" bananas makes sense, and only buying strawberries, apples etc. makes much more sense...

Thanks for the link! I was talking to someone recently about how there were certain things to buy organic and other things that it didn't really matter, but couldn't remember the exact list - I'll have to pass this on to them :)
