I often hear the question come up of “Do you really need to buy all your food organic?” Usually this is while I’m on the phone with my Dad, who sometimes just really wants the amazing looking (non-organic) fruit from Costco. And, while I often say to him “Dad, let’s be real, are peaches supposed to be the size of softballs in January?” the answer to the overall question lies in the gray area, and depends on the type of food you are buying and what your household situation is.
