organic foods

when i became pregnant with e, scott and i switched over to eating mostly organic foods. originally, we didn't feel a huge impact on our wallet. since then, organic food has gotten pretty pricey due to the trendiness of it as well as the increase in the price of gas to get it to my local grocery. here is a pretty handy list of the top 12 things to eat organically grown and the bottom 10- where you can save $ by eating conventionally grown and are exposed to minimal risks from pesticides.
