Buy organic produce if at all possible. If you are on a budget then you can look up the latest edition of
the list of The Dirty Dozen and The Clean Fifteen from the environmental working group (www.EWG.
org). They have a great list of the fruits and veggies that are okay to buy conventional and the ones
that should only be purchased organic. Whatever you buy conventional should be washed/rinsed well
before consuming.
