When it comes to fruit and vegetables, we've discussed the dirty dozen before, but this iist is worth a read because it takes into consideration fish and poultry.

Some ones we knew about (farmed salmon), and some surprises on there, (sea bass.) And who knew that to make strawberries taste sweeter, it's been found that some farmers use NutraSweet during irrigation?

1. Farmed Salmon
2. Conventionally Grown Bell Peppers
3. Non-Organic Strawberries
4. Chilean Sea Bass
5. Non-Organic Peaches
6. Genetically Modified Corn
7. Bluefin Tuna
8. Industrially Farmed Chicken
9. Non-Organic Apples
10. Cattle Treated With rBGH

Those are a bit unnerving. Most of the animal product ones I expected- I gave up all meats save occasional wild caught salmon and trout, plus a few free range eggs here and there long ago.
The fruits and veggies are the most troubling to me- I often buy organic but price-wise, non-organic is usually more practical. Apples and peaches both grow locally, but I doubt much is organic even then!
