Shopper’s delight: Here’s what to buy organic
Every year, the Environmental Working Group (EWG) releases a new version of its Shopper’s Guide to Pesticides just as I start gearing up to fill my gullet with watermelon, peaches, and tomatoes.
That’s right, it’s peak produce season, and — unless you eat everything 100 percent organic all the time — pesticide residue is a valid concern. What’s more, not all conventionally grown fruits and vegetables pose the same risk. The EWG site ranks 45 foods and pulls out the best and worst on the list. “The Dirty Dozen” are the foods most likely to be coated with pesticide residue (peaches happen to be No. 4 on the list, while apples have earned the No. 1 spot for several years running). “The Clean 15” are the foods (including onions, corn, and avocados) that are safest for consumers.” Get more here: Shopper’s delight: Here’s what to buy organic | Grist.
Re-Label Yourself & Be Self Approved!
Opinions and labels from others are just that, THEIR opinion and labels. We have been taught that to be happy we must be independent of the other opinion of others. It’s SO liberating to know that our reality and how we see ourselves doesn’t have to be defined by others, but we get to define ourselves. We can re-label ourselves to match who we see ourselves to be, not how others see us. And within that is great freedom! It’s awesome! It’s exciting and it’s LIBERATING!
