Out of interest - do you buy organic food and why?
I never used to buy organic but recently iv read a lot about pesticides and residue on food and hormones injected into animals (less of a worry as i dont eat an awful lot of meat/eggs etc) and have started to buy some organic products. The cost difference is pretty huge when you compare it to aldi prices and I'm torn as to whether or not its worth it.
For years, in ignorance, I never even washed my fruit and veg so have probably consumed my fair share of pesticides and other nasties! Now I'm torn between am I over reacting (my grandparents happily tell me they have never washed any fruit and veg let alone bought organic and all are healthy late 70-80+ year olds) or should I genuinely be concerned about pesticides etc and try and buy as much organic food as I can?
