I'll buy that, but I like them anyway.
Two points not mentioned.
One, without pesticides, the plants have to defend themselves. How do they do it? Well, after experiencing serious insect damage, many plants greatly increase their production of chemical poisons to ward off or kill attacking insects. Thus, edible plants protected by pesticides may be slightly safer for humans than those "organically grown."
Two, some fruits and vegetables are extremely difficult to grow without use of fungicides and/or pesticides. This is true of apples and, especially, peaches. (Before the mid-nineteenth century, peach trees only had 2-3 good bearing years, and even this required heroic measures including daily hand-removal of insects.) So what do "organic" farmers do? Answer, they use "organic" poisons which they believe to be safer, without any evidence, due to a prejudice against anything considered artificial.
