And a lot of the articles say that eating fruit in general is better than stressing out over whether or not it's organic.

I think I'm just going to stick with what I've been doing.

Non organic for us. I just make sure to throughly clean everything. Especially if its on the dirty dozen list. I usually do a soak of vinegar and water, let it sit for 2 or so hours, then rinse and store as normal. Organic is just too expensive for our bu

Unless you are growing all your own veggies and whatnot, where you know exactly what is going into the ground, then using "organic" is just more expensive. It's not better for you.
