Not to mention it's expensive. I spend about $1200 a month just at Whole Foods, mostly on organic and raw foods. And that's just for myself.

Also, organic foods are nutritionally equivalent to conventionally grown foods according to the most recent research; you may want to reconsider your budgeting on that front.
[1] I've been told this is not the politically correct term, but I'm not sure what the right one is; suggestions welcome! What I mean by this in reality is usually something like "Indian/Chinese/Mexican grocer."
Pesticides scare me. Especially since I can't be bothered to wash my food before eating it. But as I understand it, if you use pesticides, then the plants don't produce their own natural chemicals that fight off pests and other symbiotic organisms. I don't remember where I read it but according to my research those chemicals are very beneficial part of the total nutriment.
