Things I tripped over on my way to the internet

Via @Atlantic_Food, a useful, non-gimicky list of fruits and vegetables. Buy organic for the items on the “Dirty Dozen” list. Selected quotes:

[P]eople can lower their pesticide exposure by almost 80 percent by avoiding the top twelve most contaminated fruits and vegetables and eating the least contaminated instead. Eating the 12 most contaminated fruits and vegetables will expose a person to about 10 pesticides per day, on average. Eating the 15 least contaminated will expose a person to less than 2 pesticides per day.

Nearly all the studies used to create the list test produce after it has been rinsed or peeled.

This is a great list. (christianity)
