Organic can have chemical sprays too, but they're generally more controlled. However, to be safe, all produce should be soaked in baking soda for at least 15 minutes and washed off. It doesn't remove everything, as chemical sprays can leach deeper into the produce than what the baking soda can neutralize, but it can remove most of it. The safest bet will always be to grow your own produce.
Given that you're intentionally trying to throw off the conversation, it still led to a constructive outlet for information sharing. Thanks.
Want me to send you a list of the pesticides, FDA approved!
I've already researched these counterarguments, but sure. Post away.
[edit reply, because RealDrJester is a subversive Jew who probably gets paid per reply]
His posted link contains simple chemical compounds which can be used to fight off pests and replenish nutrients in the soil, and almost all of which are soluble in water and broken down by soil microbes. Almost all of the chemicals listed in his link are familiar to anyone that took high school chemistry. The "toxicity classification" is hilarious too, because it sounds alarming to anyone unfamiliar to how MSDS are written. All side effects must be labelled, and if improperly handled or used, can result in these side effects. However, these side effects are dependent upon exposure and magnitude. The link RealDrJester provided doesn't give this info about exposure, to make it sound more alarming to people unfamiliar with this. I could just as easily list side effects of dihydrogen monoxide, sodium chloride, or sodium bicarbonate exposure to ring alarm bells for the foolish, but most people familiar with basic chemistry and MSDS would know how funny it would be.
For example, ancient peoples (and many modern organic farmers) used bone meal/flour to fertilize their fields to replenish phosphorus, nitrogen, and other nutrients. However, bone meal is toxic if ingested, but perfectly safe to use as fertilizer. If it were listed on RealDrJester's link, going by the same rules, it would only be listed as "toxic" or "highly toxic".
Since organic sprays brake down quickly in the environment, almost zero residue is left on the produce, and if there is any left, it can easily be soaked, scrubbed, and rinsed off. Even so, the residues of organic sprays, given that they're all simple and naturally derived chemical compounds (all of which contain nutrients our body can use or discard easily), in the small amounts present they wouldn't hurt us. Non-organic sprays don't brake down easily in the environment, and can persist for a long time. Furthermore, even very small amounts of some of the non-organic sprays can have serious delirious health effects, especially over time. Glyphosate is the most famous one, causing cancer, celiac disease, Parkinsons, and lots more. "Studies" found it to be safe, but those studies are often funded by institutions and government entities that are thoroughly corrupted.
Here's a short link on the differences in sprays. Here's a good link on why organic is better. Here's a link on the allowed and prohibited substance use in organic farming, and when they're allowed to be used.
[2nd edit reply. RealDrJester has confirmed he's not only stalking my account, but watching all of my comments for edits, in addition to replies. I find this quite funny. You can spot this guy's kvetching from outer space. He's also telling the goys to consume the glyphosate, claiming it's perfectly fine, using sources that are easily debunked. A jew arguing for mainstream "$science", how stereotypical.]
Joseph D. Rosen, emeritus professor of food toxicology at Rutgers, puts it even more strongly. "Any consumers who buy organic food because they believe that it contains more healthful nutrients than conventional food are wasting their money," he writes in a comprehensive review of organic nutritional claims13.
Further analysis of similar studies on livestock products like meat, dairy, and eggs also found few differences in nutritional content. Organic foods did, however, have higher levels of overall fats, particularly trans fats. So if anything, the organic livestock products were found to be worse for us (though, to be fair, barely).
. But factory organic farms use their own barrage of chemicals that are still ecologically damaging, and refuse to endorse technologies that might reduce or eliminate the use of these all together. Take, for example, organic farming's adamant stance against genetically modified organisms (GMOs).
For example, organic farmers apply Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) toxin (a small insecticidal protein from soil bacteria) unabashedly across their crops every year, as they have for decades. It's one of the most widely used organic pesticides by organic farmers. Yet when genetic engineering is used to place the gene encoding the Bt toxin into a plant's genome, the resulting GM plants are vilified by the very people willing to liberally spray the exact same toxin that the gene encodes for over the exact same species of plant. Ecologically, the GMO is a far better solution, as it reduces the amount of toxin being used and thus leeching into the surrounding landscape and waterways.

Way, way, way more pesticides.

They are less efficient, more toxic too. Way more than the conventional ones. But I assume you don't care, since you are very antiscience.

Here's why GMOs are better, little to no pesticide.
