This week, Emily and Perry are going classy with a close look at eating organic. We all know it's more expensive, but is it worth the sticker (shock)? Do organic foods actually taste better, are they healthier, and, most importantly, are they safer? Safer for you, better for the environment? The answer, like your grocery bill, might surprise you.

Plus: what doctors really think about you, according to your chart, testosterone in the military (again), and gentlemen, don't worry about, erm, holding off before trying to impregnate someone.
