Check out the boys in the “almost finished” Treehouse! They are loving it. We have most everything done. It is pretty darn nice and our little boys are BLESSED in every way of course, with the addition of a new and awesome Treehouse!
Most everyone understands to some degree that “organic” foods, are usually a better choice. Of course you have to factor in the cost factor with these foods and as a good money manager you have to choose as a person and or family which foods you are going to be willing to go “organic” with. Check out these 2 lists from mercola.com:
This is a list of the top 15 foods to buy “organic” because of their “pesticide load”.
| Apples | Celery | Cherry tomatoes |
| Cucumbers | Grapes | Hot peppers |
| Nectarines (imported) | Peaches | Potatoes |
| Spinach | Strawberries | Sweet bell peppers |
| Kale | Collard greens | Summer squash |
Here are the top foods that had the “lowest pesticide load” making them a safer bet to buy just regular or “conventionally grown” foods.
| Asparagus | Avocado | Cabbage |
| Cantaloupe | Sweet corn (non-GMO) | Eggplant |
| Grapefruit | Kiwi | Mango |
| Mushrooms | Onions | Papayas (non-GMO. Most Hawaiian papaya is GMO) |
| Pineapple | Sweet peas (frozen) | Sweet potatoes |
I expect that this will help you to make wiser decisions at the grocery store when trying to buy “healthier” foods for you and your family. Remember, you dont have to be able to do everything, i.e. buy all organic foods, in order to make a difference in your health. Just start right where you are and do something positive.
