    Should You Buy Organic for Your Family?

    Saturday, November 22nd, 2008

    Deciding whether or not to buy organic food for your family is a harder question in today’s economic climate, where people are worried about job security.

    One answer is to selectively buy organic. Specifically seek out organic produce based on which foods have the highest levels of pesticides on them. The not-for-profit Environmental Working Group did about 43,000 tests on produce between 2000 and 2005.

    Here were the 12 worst foods – meaning these you should buy organic:

    Peaches (Highest pesticide load)
    Apples
    Sweet Bell Peppers
    Celery
    Nectarines
    Strawberries
    Cherries
    Lettuce
    Grapes (Imported/Not domestic US)
    Pears
    Spinach
    Potatoes

    The 12 best foods, meaning lowest in pesticides:

    Eggplant
    Broccoli
    Cabbage
    Bananas
    Kiwi
    Asparagus
    Sweet Peas-Frozen
    Mango
    Pineapples
    Sweet Corn-Frozen
    Avocado
    Onions (lowest pesticides)

    You can go to FoodNews to see the full list.

    Childproofing Your Home

    Saturday, August 9th, 2008

    In addition to Mama Lisa’s World, I’ve been doing work on a home maintenance site called “The Short and Long of Home Renovation”.

    Here’s a post I wrote about ways to keep your home safe for kids. I followed these rules myself when my kids were little!
