Organic Fruits and Veggies
Kat:
Well Gena, after Craig's post we are going to have to take this list with a gain of salt, so to speak. So maybe there is some truth to the order, but the level of toxins is probably way off.

Douglas Wayne Thomas:
I am wondering, if organic farmers use their fields according to the Bible? Do they let their fields set fallow,empty, every 7 years like the Bible suggests?
When ye come into the land which I give you, then shall the land keep a sabbath unto the Lord . . . Six years thou shalt sow thy field . . . But in the seventh year shall be a sabbath of rest unto the land. (Lev 25:2-4)
just wondering.
