Is Organic just a lot of BS?

[Anonymous]

Go to the environmental working group site for the dirty dozen in produce.
We hedge our bets- organic for anything that we consume a lot of (milk, eggs, yogurt, chicken), and usually organic for thin skinned, highly sprayed produce (e.g. Strawberries, apples, spinach). Either or for most other stuff depending on availability and price.
Organic is hugely expensive and your grocery bill will be at least double of you shop at places like Whole Foods. If we couldn't afford it, I would eat more frozen organic fruits/veggies and buy conventional/fresh produce with less pesticide. We would probably eat more vegetarian if we had to buy only conventional meat.
