Consumer Reports has organic article in upcoming issue
In the February 2006 issue of Consumer Reports, the magazine will investigate which organic foods are worth the extra money and which are a waste of money. On the list of must-buys– apples, bell peppers, celery, cherries, spinach, and strawberries, among others. In the “skip it” category– seafood, for which there is no real organic standard, and cosmetics, for similar reasons. Of course, the article I read only mentioned avoiding ingesting pesticides as a reason for buying organic. It didn’t mention what all those pesticides do when they run off into the water supply. Still, it’s a start when a mainstream source like Consumer Reports does a large story on the subject of organic foods.
