Go organic!
"Fruits and veggies grown organically show significantly higher levels of cancer-fighting antioxidants than conventionally grown foods, according to a new study of corn, strawberries and marionberries. The research suggests that pesticides and herbicides actually thwart the production of phenolics chemicals that act as a plant's natural defense and also happen to be good for our health."

What's hydroponic mean? Is the same as, or, maybe it's the opposite of, organic.
I was at a brunch over the weekend and the caterer had hydroponic tomatoes. They looked fantastic, but they didn't taste that great.
