Do you buy organic fruit and veg?

Our produce is ridiculously expensive. Right now we're lucky to even get the opportunity to buy what we want because of covid. What we're offered is products that are close to expiry pretty much. So we don't even have the choice. I buy whatever. Doesn't matter to me.

Organic whenever its an option. Partly for the health benefits (especially for anything where the skin will be eaten and residue risk is highest) and partly because it highly correlates with the animal and environmental welfare that's involved too. I'm not so keen on giving my kids their morning cereal along with an unintentional side order of veterinary antibiotics dissolved in the milk, or their dinner along with a pesticide residue. I fully appreciate that it's a more expensive option not open to some and that other aspects of our life style (diesel car first and foremost) are less than ideal, but I try wherever I can.
