6 BIG Reasons to Go Organic

You list some good reasons to eat organic produce. I was waitiing to read about the increased nutritional value of fresh organic produce, especially that which is freshly picked and sold at farmer's markets by growers who are organically certified. Compare that to produce that has been sitting on supermarket shelves for days, likely trucked hundreds of miles, and may have been picked weeks ago.

When we start to talk about Karma, aren't you as a writer losing credibility? I was on board till #6. This is very unfortunate.

Toxicity? Your model lying on the grass has dyed hair, nail polish, eye makeup, and lipstick. Is the application of all these chemicals to this person's body necessary to present a "healthy image" of eating organic?

Thanks for the article. We're buying mostly organic, except for Avocados and a few other thick skin varieties which I understand are pretty safe. That being said, I hate to think about the toxic load I've paid for in ordering how many hundreds of leafy green salads over the years when dining out. I'd imagine that food prep in most restaurants don't take a great deal of care washing the veggies, etc.
