To eat organic?!? Or not to eat organic?!?

 Eating a diet rich in fruits and vegetables is one of the best ways to achieve abundant health, energy and vitality. However, It can be challenging to see the difference in price or availability of some organic fruits and vegetables. It can also be hard when tyring to employ a frugal budget. It’s hard for me to shop at Whole Foods without spending my Whole paycheck! haha! So I came across this list of the most important foods to buy organic and ones that arent so bad. I hope this will assist some of you with your shopping lists, as it did for me 🙂
