Well, I’ve been doing a lot of research concerning juice feasting over the last month or so and had decided to take the leap and start my juice feast on June first(tomorrow!!). I got my juicer and was ready to go…until today when I went to buy my produce at the nearby Food Co-op. I had never been there before (unfortunately I have to eat mostly non-organic produce because of a very low budget) and was shocked to see how HIGH the prices were. I knew they would by higher, but WOW! Needless to say, I can not afford to buy enough organic produce to supply me with 5-6 quarts of juice a day for 92 days. I think I may be able to pull off buying my greens and carrots organic, but definitely not the fruit. Do you think it is still worth doing the juice feast or am I just hurting my body with concentrated pesticides? Has anyone else had a similar issue?

Thanks again everyone. I’ll begin my juice feast tomorrow, nonorganic produce and all! It is much better than my present diet anyhow and I will hopefully see some health benefits despite not juicing all organic produce.
