I must admit that I do eat the majority of those fruits and veggies in that top 16 list. Does this also include organic food? Does this mean I should be avoiding the top 16 even if they are organic?

Yes, we definitely try to be organic, at least for the most egregious offenders. Our farmers market vendors often have hand written signs saying "no spray" - whether they are or not who knows. Hi Bex, Thanks. Yeah, I can relate to the bell peppers. I'm pretty bummed about them too. Strawberries are my issue. But, as my brother is fond of saying, "it's expensive to live." Hi Karmality,

The bell peppers bum me out the most because it's the one vegetable that is almost prohibitively expensive to by organic. This is a good post.

You're right that cutting out meat also gets ride of a lot of bad toxins, but an organic vegan diet is probably the healthiest. Yes, organic fruits and veggies in supermarkets is more expensive, but try going to a local farmer. Even if they aren't certified organic (which costs a lot - too much for many small farms), farmers usually use little to no pesticides to save costs. Great post.
