no you wouldn't. ACTUALLY, Consumer Reports has an article regarding the things you REALLY should buy organic.

(http://www.consumerreports.org/cro/f...view/index.htm

I just CHOOSE to eat exclusively organic. REALLY, my grocery bill is about 1.5 times what it used to be (and in the summer, I buy from the Farmers Market and it is VERY cheap...can buy a HUGE bag of groceries for $5 OR you could join a CO-OP, so in the end, it pretty much balances itself out). Yes, I TOO put my hands in the one above, but I also feel he helps us by, helping us help ourselves. Yes, it IS overwhelming, but I figured I abused my body the FIRST 40 yrs of my life, I was going to treat it w/ TLC the remaining 40+ years

DO start small and use the diet as a "guide". ACTUALLY, coming off chemo (I tried doing the diet while going through chemo...had diareah (sp) for 24 hrs...had to stop), I WEANED myself back on it it, by adding something new each week. Every little thing you do will add up. Take care and God bless.
