Both organic and conventional produce is safe. Don't fall prey to fear tactics by a fundraising organization (they use a $6 million budget to try to make people fear fruits and vegetables!) We ask you to learn the Facts here: http://bit.ly/ZJBsHZ

Since most of the corn in the USA is a GMO with an insecticide gene spliced in that kills insects, and is also full of toxic Round Up, I can't see where the clean 15 has any validity.
