Reducing Pesticide Consumption

[MLBW]

As the topic of pesticides and produce seemed to really spark a lot of interest, I thought these resources would be helpful to those out there who want to reduce the pesticides ingested by themselves and their kids.

The first link is a handy, printable guide to help you know which veggies and fruits are best bought organic (pesticide free) and the other link gives some vital information concerning pesticide consumption--especially in regard to children and babies.

Another vegetable which in my opinion should be bought organic is Spinach. I have tried both organic and non organic Spinach and there is a great difference in taste and smell (The non- organic gives a very chemical smell when cooked). Does anyone else agree with me?
