Did you know-- that when you eat an average apple, you are consuming over 30 pesticides...even after washing it???

Did you know-- that the top 12 highly contaminated foods are strawberries, green (&red) bell peppers, spinach, cherries, peaches, cantaloupe, celery, apples, apricots, green beans, grapes and cucumbers?
-----> It is scary to think that I eat almost all of the above (with the exception of apricots) on a weekly basis, all of which are not organic.

Did you know-- that 9000 people die each year in the U.S. due to food related illnesses?

I have been doing a lot of research lately about the advantages of eating organic foods, and some information that I have stumbled upon is rather eye-opening. There are thousands of pesticides that can make their way into our food. Antibiotics, growth hormones, insecticides, and many more things are leading causes to some serious diseases, cancer being one of the biggest.

All I know is, I am not Ok with this. It might be time to start changing what I put in my body. Who's with me?
