Non stop eatting

[jec]

ummm....where did you get that list. I'd like to see it
I'm with you ~ I'm really proud of what I serve in my daycare. I don't serve any prepackaged foods and everything is home cooked as well ~ I make everything for my own family and my daycare family from scratch. I just don't advertise organic as I don't always buy it. I know strawberries are one of the worst fruit for pesticides but I'm of the thinking everything in moderation. I can't find any strawberries this time of year organic.

The list you are looking for is from the environmental workers group and it is called the 'clean 15' and the 'dirty dozen', it lists the 15 fruits/veg that have the least pesticide residue and the 12 worst.
