What's the effects of conventionally grown fruits/vegetables/leafs?

[Goldsplinter]

I think that the pesiticides from the fruits/vegetables/leafs (mainly leafs and vegetables) is what's getting me high when ever I eat salad or broccoli or somethin.

I always buy organic lettuce if nothing else.

I saw a report on one of the news channels recently where they have now linked Parkinsons Disease to intake of pesticides.
Of course we all know that this is just the tip of the iceberg.
It made sense to me as the only person that I know that had this disease was a market gardner.
I think that you must try and reduce your exposure as much as possible but that does not mean that you can never eat non organic produce. I always use Vege Wash on non organic. Do what you can to keep your intake as low as possible while still getting a good variety.

What's Vege Wash? I'm interested.

It is a product that removes a lot of the pesticides from your food. It is sold in the US under the name FIT (if I remember correctly).
It removes them and holds them in suspension.
