I love heated discussions while eating my lunch of organic salad and grilled organic chicken. Well, I found the study published in N.Y. Times on 5/8/2002, which proves that organic produce has least amount of pesticide residue on them. The Agriculture Department data showed that conventionally grown foods were 6 times as likely to contain multiple pesticide residues vs organic.

This would seem to be obvious but his position is that if you are going to claim something you should have the science to back it up. Are you aware of any comparative studies showing the difference in pesticide residue between organic and conventional produce?
