Thanks! I was surprised to see apples at the top!! I'll add that to my organic list.

Wow, and I ate a ton of nectarines early in my pregnancy when I was trying to stick to the Pregnancy Diet (nectarines fulfilled the yellow fruit or veg requirement)

Well, I live in the most polluted place in the country, so I guess a little pesticide won't do us in!
