I got so carried away on one train of thought I forgot to address the above concern. There is some truth to what you read in the WSJ. That's why I don't believe in spending a lot of extra money on organic fruits and vegetables. Most of the time I don't buy any. Although, I will stay away from certain things like strawberries, cherries, corn etc..
Some items like carrots contain natural pesticides put there by nature. So we'll get some of that whether we like it or not; but we can handle it. Here's what can happen with organically grown vegetables: Without pesticides, bugs might start to nibble and when they do, the plant responds by increasing the amount of its natural pesticides. It's amazing how a plant would know how to do that but that's what they found by testing different plants.
