Further Proof for the Necessity of Organically Grown Food


Did you know that 67 various pesticides are lurking in your child's celery stick? (Even if it's decorated with innocent looking peanut butter and raisins for ants on a log!)  It's true, if you are buying conventional produce.

My father in law sent me this article the other day.  It is a great piece done by CNN, who is doing a series called, "Toxic America."

It's a really great study of organic fruits and vegetables versus conventional.  I had to chuckle, though, because CNN makes it seem like they are on the cutting edge of this news story.  They're not breaking any news that God didn't reveal thousands of years ago.  :)

Check out the original article for yourself at:
