To Choose Organic, or Not to Choose Organic foods?…EWG helps us decide

Choosing Organic foods means paying more for groceries…it is excellent if you are able to afford to buy all organic…but if you can’t, think about choosing the organic version of the foods listed by the EWG (Environmental Working Group). The EWG tests our produce and lists the top worst they call the dirty list…meaning the foods that contain the most pesticide. Take a look at the dirty dozen list for 2017, and try to buy the organic version of those foods to decrease your pesticide intake this year.  They also list the top clean list, which have the least amount of pesticide.
