I focus on eating local first. This is the most important to me. I can ask a local farmer how they grow something which means I can often get chemical free food that the farmer just can't afford to get certified as organic (it takes a lot of time and money). Plus I am reducing the carbon footprint of my food.
Then I look at the dirty dozen.
After that, I look at price.0 -
So, sorry but I don't have time to answer your questions right now, but here's a link you may find helpful in determining some purchases if you decide you would like to buy at least some organic produce:

EWG composes new lists each year and they can change, so it's good to look into the new list each year.0 -
Have you read "the eat clean diet" book? AMAZING!!! I started going organic when I noticed some behavior issues with my oldest daughter. I do not want to medicate her if I could help it, I did some research and came accross these books. Turns out much of it can
and is controlled by diet, I took her off of dairy and it was like another kid!!! She started doing better in school, trimming down, and just was more pleasant. I wondered if maybe we could all benefit from these changes....we feel sooooo much better. We aren't 100%, yet, there are habits we need to break, but I wish you luck and enjoyment on your journey!!! Next stop for us, veganism.... if i can talk them into it!! hahaha0 -

amazing!! I really want to detox myself of free radicals, change mental focus, and alleviate depression / anxiety symptoms. Which I have heard that all these chemicals in our environment and what we are feeding ourselves are just not helping any of those things !0 -
farmers markets are amazing places to find local produce, much of which is chemical free. I enjoy going to the health food stores and loading up on spices, herbs, gluten free flours, seeds, and remember if it doesnt have a mother, or roots....its probably not good for you. If a product has to write "natural" on its package...its probably not0
