So, I have heard that oranges are probably fine non-organic @Hank

I eat a lot of them. Should I purchase them organic as well? What about oranges? I eat a lot of them. Should I purchase them organic as well?

I do by onions, bananas, and broccoli from the bottom list out of habit.

Or could it be that they're what's keeping me alive? I eat right and exercise and I know I'm healthy.

I just changed it ;) no, but I have to disagree about it not being worth the money. You have to look at it like preventative maintenance. Few people would argue that changing the oil in your car is a good investment. I look at organic food the same way. There are countless studies that prove that the pesticides on the food that we eat can cause cancer and many other sicknesses and diseases. That being the case, I think it is worth spending an extra $10 at the grocery store each week to prevent the huge medical bills later on in life. @zg

This is a financial blog isn't it? To make a long post short, organic isn't worth the money. Or you could just avoid organic. This is a financial blog isn’t it?

Check out this post.... http://www.christianpf.com/the-bible-on-healthy-living/ Farmers markets are actually a great way to go. The food is often a lot cheaper, fresher and sometimes you can find organic stuff as well. As far as them being worth the extra cost. I try to stick with the list I mentioned in the post, just because those contaminated 12 supposedly have the most pesticides. I focus mostly on avoiding those. But bottom line I think eating non-organic apples is always going to beat out eating an organic Big Mac... @Ryan

Kind of like a detox. It's called The Makers diet and it is actually biblically based. But it is so expensive and I am not really sure if I am getting the value I am paying for. Is there any way to get cheaper organic foods? Are organic foods really worth the extra cost? I tried to go on an all organic diet once. Kind of like a detox.
