8. If you are too lazy or suspicious to join co-ops and look for farmer’s markets, shop grocery stores selectively. There are certain non-organic foods, such as bananas or avocados, which tend to be lower in pesticide levels and therefore, are relatively safe. Foods like apples and potatoes have the highest levels of pesticide residue, so it is really important to buy them organic. Read more »
