I was reading a chart put out by The Organic Center and thought it would be a great thing to post. Most of us don't really understand how much of our foods are contaminated with pesticides and how dangerous it is to consume, especially for children. This is one more motivating reason to buy organic/natural foods. Know your farmer!

Print this chart (link above) and post it on your fridge.
