Consumer Reports recently ran a helpful article about
buying organic produce on a budget. Actually, the bulk of the article details recent developments in the organic
food industry such as the recent weakening of organic standards and the debate over Horizon dairy products. Aside from a brief overview of what "organic" means when it comes to vegetables, meat and dairy, the article gives some insight into what the health benefits of an organic diet may or may not be. It also points out certain vegetables, such as asparagus and broccoli, that, even when grown conventionally, have such low levels of pesticides that buying organic versions seems unnecessary.
The piece ends with several tips for finding less costly organic produce. Suggestions include buying direct from farmers through local markets and CSAs or simply comparison shopping among the stores that offer organic foods in your area.
