Is organic food worth the higher price for only certain items?
Organic food is worth the higher price, but only for certain items. I've read studies showing that strawberries and spinach carry much higher pesticide residues, so I always buy those organic. For thick-skinned produce like bananas and avocados, though, I go conventional and save money. The problem is that many people treat organic as an all-or-nothing label, and the marketing doesn't help. Is it really about nutrition, or are we paying for peace of mind?
