We get lots of "organic" grown vegetables here which translates to 1) a higher price (because it's "organic"); 2) supposedly none of the herbicides normally used in crop growing are used.
Most of our produce in Arizona comes from Mexico - the tomatoes I buy certainly do as I only get 'hydroponic grown' tomatoes which to me taste better and don't have that thick skin to deal with.
One thing that we do watch for processed foods is the ingredients ... especially for "diet" foods ... seems there are more harmful things added to make it "diet" that are worse for you as opposed to eating the "normal" foods. Too many "fake" items needed to make it "diet" that are actually really bad for us.
