By purchasing organic varieties of fruits and vegetables, you can reduce your exposure to pesticides by 90 percent! In addition to the health benefits of organic food, if just 1% of our nation’s farmlands eliminated the use of synthetic chemicals, it would remove 26,000,000 pounds of pesticides per year from the food we eat and from our environment.
When you buy organic, you encourage this kind of farming!
On a food-related note, in the month of May we will focus on Nutrition and Healthy Cooking as part of our Year of Wellness. A potluck and healthy recipe contest are in the works! Stay tuned…
