#6 Eat Organically Whenever Possible

Yes, I know that people say it is a waste of money and that there is no nutritional difference. To that I say: for millennia, people thought the world was flat. It was decades before the government "discovered" that cigarettes are deadly. Sadly, there are still people who think that the lunar landing was some kind of hoax. So neener, neener, neener.
In addition to being better for you (scientists just discovered that pesticides not only emasculate frogs but turn 10% of them into females), it is better for the earth. No doubt. Yes, I know it is more expensive but we sent you to the best of schools, spent extra money on DHA enhanced milk, and fed you wild salmon from Whole Foods at least once a week since you were four months old. Hence, you have enough brain capacity to make enough money to do the right thing.

PS Even though pesticides don't leak as much into peeled items such as avocados and bananas ... still buy them organically because you love your Mother (earth).
