Like I was saying.....

Everytime I look there are just more and more reasons to eat organic. LR, Thanks for the tip on lemon juice for grapes and such. I hadn't thought of that.

Now of course this doesn't count for the pounds and pounds of chocolate I have personally consumed in the last 2 days. Shot that diet to h-e-double hockey sticks.

I am pretty sure I read studies that indicate chocolate was not affected by toxins/calories/pesticides whatsoever! Wine too.

This is true, and I hear they are good for your heart, etc. Along with my coffee. now if I could just get my waistline to comply we'd be all set.
