Well the thing is you CAN control the toxins in what you eat and really, as someone with a food related illness, I can testify towards how huge an impact your diet can and does have on your health.

We do, unwittingly poison ourselves daily. We may not be able to clean the air but we can be watchful of what we put in our bodies.

That said, I think there's things that are worth doing organic, and things that aren't. I don't buy a lot of organic produce unless it's at my local farmer's market which IS substancialy cheaper.

But Dairy and Meat are the places you can impact your diet the most by going organic. They're also the most expensive (especially dairy). Especially if you have kids, if you want to go healthier this is where you get the best impact.

Even more so though, avoiding processed food like the plague is the #1 important thing to do that will, and drastically change how you feel. Organic or not, making things yourself from scratch or as close to it as possible will give you complete control over what you eat, eliminate the preservatives and artificial crap in your diet and make you feel MUCH better.
