I'm curious what you folks doing the plant based diet do about fears over pesticides. My wife and I are taking the leap and it is a big concern for my wife, and myself to some extent.
Do you buy mostly organic? I've read that washing doesn't get rid of hardly any pesticides. I've also read there are some concerns over vegetarians having some higher rates of children with birth defects (specifically one effecting boys), with the link possibly being higher exposure to pesticides. With us planning on having another child very soon it is a concern.
We don't mind going for organic, though it will be more expensive and harder to find everything we want.
