Which Foods MUST Be Purchased as Organic?

In our attempt to eat healthier sometimes it can be confusing and expensive when we go to the store and are bombarded with organic, cage free, farm raised ,grass fed, and on and on and on.

I think if you read through this article it will give you a better idea of when it is necessary to shell out the extra bucks and where you can save a few pennies. 

"The foods you want to splurge on by buying organic are foods that have permeable or edible skins, and/or that are conventionally grown with higher amounts of pesticides. Based on the EWG's report, the top 12 foods to buy organic include: grapes,strawberries,............."

"....some organic foods are rip-offs, when their conventional counterparts are already grown using low amounts of pesticides and the food in question must be peeled anyway, such as bananas.
The Environmental Working Group is a reliable source when trying to decide on what to buy organic. According to their latest 2010 pesticide review, the following 12 foods rank as the most pesticide-free produce, even when conventionally-grown, so you can save a few bucks by opting for the conventionally-grown version of these: watermelon,onions,................."
