Organic Vs. Non-Organic Foods

Okay, so there is the big debate on what foods you should and should not buy organic and as you all know, the organic foods cost quite a bit more than non-organics.  Personally, I cannot afford to buy everything organic so I spent some time looking at lots of articles regarding organic and non-organic foods.  After doing so, I compiled a list of where to spend the extra money and where not to.  I would say, if you can, buy everything organic but if not, just go organic on the foods that contain the most pesticides and hormones.  On the items like fruits and veggies that you either cannot find organic or simply cannot afford, invest in a good natural veggie wash, which can be found at virtually any health food store.
