I dream of an Organic Life

I have been reading a friend's blog and replied to one of her comments, and figured that I should post the info of what i wrote here!
I strive to live a green life and eat a lot of organic food, Its just better for you and keeps my body so healthy! Ive only been sick twice this year, and one of those times I only knew I was sick because I randomly took my temp!

I love me some Whole Foods...but it can get expensive. Its nice to go there to see what organic products are reliable, and then see if I can find them in other stores! :)

Oh, and for food, its best to always get the "dirty dozen" organic.
The dirty dozen are the most highly contaminated foods with pesticides and chemicals — even after washing and peeling.

The Dirty Dozen:
Peaches
Apples
Celery
Nectarines
Strawberries
Kale
Leafy Greens
Grapes
Carrots
Pears
Tomatoes
Potatoes

And of course, always get organic meat, milk and coffee.

Here are some things you don't have to buy organic:
Onion
Avocado
Pineapple
Mango
Corn
Asparagus
Sweet Peas
Kiwi
Cabbage
Eggplant
Papaya
Watermelon
Broccoli
Sweet Potatoes

So kids, here's the bottom line. If you can afford to, do it. If you cant afford to, do it a little bit at a time. The earlier, the better. Oh, and do it for your kids too. you'll find your kids to be healthier and you'll relax knowing that you aren't feeding them and yourself chemicals and carcinogens!
