[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 174354, member: 2423"] Michelle, This is only my opinion, and others are free to disagree. I think buying organic is better for health [I]in general, [/I]but doesn't have much, if any, effect on behavior and functioning. According to the Environmental Working Group ([URL="http://www.foodnews.org"]www.foodnews.org[/URL]), there are some fruits and vegetables that are more contaminated with pesticides than others so it may be more economical to concentrate on buying the "high pesticide" organic and the "lower pesticide" conventional. The "high pesticide" fruits and veggies are peaches, apples, bell pepers, celery, nectarines, strawberries, cherries, lettuce, grapes, pears, spinach and potatoes. The "lower pesticide" fruits and veggies are onions, avocado, sweet corn (frozen), pineapples, mango, sweet peas (frozen), asparagus, kiwi, bananas, cabbage, broccoli and eggplant. Hope that helps.
