Fruits and Veggies aren't always as healthy as they appear, further making it harder to balance out the food pyramid. While watching the news today I saw that the Environmental Working Group found out domestic Apples, grown right here on US soil, are the MOST chemically contaminated of all Produce available in our local grocery stores amongst all available in the COUNTRY. This is so crazy to me because we are basically bringing chemical warfare to our own people in the interest of saving money. These Pesticides and other chemicals used to help grow and protect these crops are already harmful and cancer causing to Adults, but imagine all the kids that end up with development issues from eating these same chemically infused, somewhat unnatural foods. I know it’s a little more expensive, but when I have kids I will definitely invest in Organic Fruits and Veggies for them in their younger years. The full Top 12 “Dirty Dozen” list is listed below along with the Top 15 Clean, Pesticide Free Fresh Fruit and Veggie items. Bon Apetite
