To buy organic or not buy organic.... that is the question

Everyone knows that organic is the healthiest way to go (unless you have been living under a rock), and everyone knows that organic is the most expensive way to go.

Some ways to keep your groceries under budget is to know what to and what not to buy organic. All meats should be bought organic to make sure your body does not accumulate harmful steroids, pesticides or antibiotics. Your fruits and veggies, however, are more flexible.

If you can buy organic everything, do so. However, in this economy, everyone's budget is a little strained at this point. Lists called the "Dirty Dozen" and the "Clean 15" have been created to show you which produce are most important to buy "clean" and which are least affected buy conventional farming. I have loaded the lists for your convenience. Enjoy!
