The Dirty Dozen, The Clean Fifteen

If you don't grow your own food, shopping for healthy and safe produce is a challenge. the The Environmental Working Group puts out a guide that has a big fan in Dr. Andrew Weil. "I’m thankful that there is an organization like EWG that can provide this easy-to-use list so we can all shop smarter, save money and be that much more healthy — and happy."
