Avoiding Pesticides

I can't always buy organic but am still concerned with eating foods that aren't grown with pesticides. I came across this website today that ranks foods according to pesticide contamination. I didn't know that some foods tend to have more pesticides than others but according to this report they do.


Below is the list of best and worst foods that they have ranked according to pesticide contamination.

Also, there's an interesting article that describes how large conventional farmers just received a grant from the USDA to go towards fighting this list, arguing that the list is a public health risk.
