Podcast Script

Hello welcome to my podcast! For my podcast I want to talk about the difference with fruits and vegetables with and organic and not organic. There are two categories with fruits and vegetables and they are rated cleanest to the dirtiest. The categories are the dirty dozen and the clean fifteen. When short on money and wanting to make healthier options you can chose from the clean fifteen and not worry so much about being organic or not because there are less pesticides used on those products, but the dirty dozen on the other hand are rated 1-12 with the things you want to definitely purchase organic if at all possible. Things on the dirty dozen list rated from dirtiest to cleanest are nectarines, peaches, apples, celery, carrots, kale, strawberries, cherries, lettuce, imported grapes, pears. These fruits and vegetables have been tested and test over 50 % positive for pesticides and many of them are tested positive for multiple pesticides on the same fruit. The clean 15 however are very low on pesticides and you can safely choose them non organic. These options are onions, avocados, frozen sweet corn, pineapples, mango, asparagus, frozen sweet peas, kiwi, cabbage, eggplant, papaya, watermelon, broccoli, tomatoes, sweet potatoes and grapefruit. There are ways to eat healthier without spending a fortune. While consuming the least amount of pesticides as possible. Pesticides affect every part of your life and attack your cells and can affect future generations. Thank you for listening I hope this has encouraged you to think carefully while you’re at the grocery store. I found this information at greenster.com and they have many other articles.
