Exactly.

While I'm not an expert on the subject, I have also read that those 'organic' products that we pay more for are often fertilized with manure.

I would think that the bottom line is to always wash your veggies and fruits before consuming and not really worry about it (except for maybe lettuce, as mentioned in this article).
