Organic?

From Ideal bites: http://www.idealbite.com/tiplibrary/archives/attack-of-the-killer-tomatoes

Top 10 produce you should buy organic:
1. Peaches
2. Apples
3. Bell Peppers
4. Celery
5. Nectarines
6. Strawberries
7. Cherries
8. Lettuce
9. Grapes (imported)
10. Pears

The Benefits
Less bloodcurdling. Pesticides won't actually curdle your blood (as far as we know), but more than 80% of the most common pesticides are potentially carcinogenic.

Not freaking out other animals. Pesticides aren't just toxic to the intended pests - they can also harm other animals as well.

Averting bill-induced chills. Budgets are tight, so if you can only splurge a little on organic food, spend where it counts.
