Eating fresh fruit

[Kevberlin]

One of my friends is a an apple farmer.
I eat an apple each day.
He instructed me to always wash apples prior to consumption.
I do what he says.

Looking at the label of a bag of Clementines has put me off a bit ,

I also recently discovered that citrus fruit is treated with pesticides.
I doesn't put me off eating them, I wash them when I remember, should really do it everytime.
This knowledge has hampered my baking quite a bit: I use a lot of citrus zest, juice and pulp in my baking.
Can't decide which is worse health wise, using the fruit doused in chemicals or use the artificial flavors
Finding organic citrus fruit is quite difficult, pricey too.
The other day I got the only 3 organic lemons left in M&S, £2.99 for 3.
