Better for your kids, and better for you, but they can be tough on the budget. Due to increased consumer demand, prices are falling and selection is growing, but you still may not be able to afford to buy all organic all the time. You can be a smart buyer and make choices about which organic selections are most important to buy. Some foods harbor higher concentrations of pesticides than others (try to buy these organic), while others contain lower concentrations (buy these conventionally to save money).
