I saw a piece by Sophie Uliano, on Home and Family that really opened my eyes. On our fruits and veggies there are stickers with codes on them which i really never knew what they meant, other then entering it into the machine and getting a price. Not all fruits and veggies are organic even though they seem to be. The number if the product is organic should begin with the number 9............ 9 is fine the number 8 means the product is genetically changed which could pose an issue for someone who has allergies. When you purchase hot dogs or bacon get nitrate free....Apples are the fruit that gets the most pesticide sprays to get rid of these pesticides 2T lemon juice 1T baking soda mixed to water in a spray bottle. spray the fruit and wipe off after 10 minutes.
For leafy veggies fill up your sink with cold water , add 1 C vinegar and 1/4 salt put veggies into the sink and rinse in the water leave in there for 20-30 minutes.
Things that should be purchased organic are apples , baby foods, pnut butter, ketchup and rice.
