 Summer's here and the market is brimming with beautiful fruits and vegetables.  Whole Foods is, unfortunately, both expensive and a long drive from my home.  None of the other local stores, including Trader Joe's, has a full enough selection of organics for my tastes.  I thought it time to review the Environmental Working Group's list of best and worst fruits and veggies, based on their pesticide residue.
