Which foods should be organic?

Some conventionally grown foods are higher in pesticides than others. When you can, choose organic version of the following (or don't eat at all):

• Strawberries (the most important)
  
• Bell peppers
• Spinach
• Cherries
• Peaches
• Mexican cantaloupe
• Celery
• Apples
• Apricots
• Green beans
• Rice
• Corn
• Bananas
• Grapes (and Raisins)
  
• Potatoes
• Soybeans
• Cucumbers

I also make sure that milk, eggs, and any meat products are organic. Of course, you should always try to avoid genetically modified foods as well!
