I am an advocate for organic produce and believe we need to reduce the amount of pesticides we consume from our food supply. I just wrote a post about it on my own blog today.

Don't forget- most fruits and veggies have most of their vitamins and minerals in the skin- so scraping them off eliminates a lot of the nutrients you could be consuming. It's recommended that you keep the skin and do a thorough washing. Glad to see you’re doing so much, Princess!

If it eat it all, skin and all (tomatoes, grapes, celery, potatoes, zucchini, plums, peaches, etc), I go for organic. I go for organic meats (except beef, cause I loathe the flavor and texture of grass-fed organic beef and I only eat it about once a week), which are REALLY pricey! I also splurge on organic milk and other dairy with rare exceptions. (I love FAGE yogurt and I dislike every organic swiss cheese I've tried.) As long as my budget can stand it, I'll support local farms, pasture-raised and organic chicken and eggs, organic and humane pork, etc. But, hey, with the economy tanking, I may ahve to go all-conventional in the future--like it or not. I'd go vegetarian (ovo-lacto) if hubby weren't such a limited vision guy about produce and a beans-hater. Ah, well. The P I spend a lot on groceries because the majority I buy is organic.
