I was in my neighborhood produce store the other day having a familiar debate with myself over a carton of strawberries. Should I buy the big, red, bright red ones in the main produce section at $1.25 a basket? Or should I splurge on the organic ones for $2.25 for the same small container?

I knew my 8-year-old son, Trevor -- whom we often call a fruitoholic -- could make an entire container disappear in about two minutes flat. Did I really need to spend the extra money for organic? Feeling tight, I picked up a three-pack of the conventional berries and plopped them into my cart.
