- The average conventionally grown apple has 20-30 artificial chemicals on its skin, even after rinsing!
We teach our children to look both ways before they cross the street, insist they wear seat belts and know if we drive using good judgment, we are less likely to have a problem. Logically, the same could be said about food. So why would we feed our kids poisonous food? Below, the “Pesticide Residue Alert”. Just like a yellow traffic sign warns us to be cautious–potential danger ahead–while driving, these “signs” give us options when we shop for our fruits and vegetables.
Think of Organic as Health “Assurance”

Delicious Organic Apples–oh what a feeling!
Experience the energetic nature of Organic food. More favorable? Notice how you feel. More vital? Maybe just to make the choice to buy Organic apples for your kids to eat . . . and slowly begin to incorporate the rest as budget allows. It is an investment in you; a long-term lifestyle choice. The journey of a thousand miles, begins with one step–yours.
