The Environmental Working Group (EWG) has put together a wonderful guide to help consumers make informed choices to lower their dietary pesticide load.

I know that buying organic foods is expensive, but we also need to think about our health and that of our family. Try starting with the “Dirty Dozen” list from above, this way you decrease your exposure to pesticides.
