Organic food cost isn’t always worth the price

Given that organic food often costs more, shoppers may want to prioritize their grocery lists, shelling out more only for higher-residue foods. Here’s the magazine’s “buy organic” list: apples, bell peppers, celery, cherries, imported grapes, nectarines, peaches, pears, potatoes, raspberries, spinach and strawberries.
Also recommended: meat, dairy and eggs, to avoid hormones and antibiotics given to non-organically raised animals, and the risk of mad cow disease from conventional feed that can contain protein from sick cows. Baby food is on the list too. As it is often concentrated, so are any pesticide residues, and young children are more vulnerable to small amounts of toxins.
