This little book will help you decide if you want to spend your money on organic products. I often try to buy organic if my wallet can take the hit so I was very happy to find some of the foods I purchase were listed on the authors "Clean Fifteen". These are foods most pests don't want to bother with so very little, if any pesticides are used. Blueberries are "clean" as is broccoli.
On the flip side you may want to consult the "Dirty Dozen", foods you should only eat if they are organic. Pesticide residue remains on food even after washing thoroughly and some products require a lot of chemicals to ward off pests. Some of these foods are strawberries, red and green peppers and spinach.
This probably won't be your most exciting read of 2009 but it may help you make more economical decisions at the grocery store.
