Moral Budgeting: Benefits of Organic Products

On a limited budget, the recommendation to buy organic fruits and vegetables is extremely difficult. On one hand, you want to be pushing away toxins as far away as possible from your body. But living this way comes with a cost, and typically its a dollar or so more than something that is not organic.

It is understandable that in a strict budget, organic food is simply not on the radar.

However, if you eat fewer foods with pesticides, you may be saving money in the long run avoiding the health problems attached to them.


The best overall approach to this budgeting conundrum is to reduce your exposure to as many different kinds of toxins as possible over your lifetime. Don't become obsessed with the idea. You can't financially afford to eat organic right now, so remember:

The advantages of eating a diet full of fruits and vegetables far outweigh the risks of consuming pesticide residues.
