We've focused on food a fair amount since our move because we are closer to stores that we can get organic and that doesn't cost an arm and a leg.
Recently, I read the book Anti Cancer, A New Way of Life
I highly recommend it. The author is a neuropsychiatrist who developed brain cancer and through his research discovered how our food has been significantly altered since WW II and how that has changed both the food and our bodies. And not for the better.
It's been a significant push for our family to go as organic as possible, and to really reconsider the chemicals we expose ourselves to. The information in it can actually be more than a little scary and more than a little overwhelming. But don't let that stop you from reading it.
Here is a great chart to print and bring with you to the store. It has the dirty dozen foods you should always buy organic and the clean 15 that are the least contaminated.
This book is on my "buy" list. I get a lot of my books from the library and don't really buy them anymore unless I love them exceedingly or find the information too valuable to not own. This book falls in the latter category.
