Crop protection is DH's field; he's currently at a company that does organic crop protection but has also done pesticide development with a conventional large multinational.  Me, I try to buy produce as much as possible from our farmers market, which is year-round and excellent. But Mr International Pesticide Expert?  He buys conventional and often can't be bothered to rinse the fruit off.

Most organic milk isn't from pastured cows, so it doesn't address the health issues I care about (feeding grains to a ruminant is biologically inappropriate).  rBST doesn't bother me.  So I'm not willing to pay the premium, even though I am concerned about antibiotic misuse.  

I still don't really want to eat pesticides...it was a just a comment about which one I would RATHER eat if it came down to it. I'd still choose neither. :)

But I attempt to buy our meat and produce from farmers that I know at our local farmers market. They may not be certified organic (it's pretty expensive to get that certification), but I know that if they say their lambs are happy, they are. And I can visit their farms to see that their soil is good and their plants are thriving. I'd love to buy organic pasture fed milk, but my kids tear through it so fast that I can only manage maybe 2 litres out of 5. The qualifications for  these things are also different here in Oz. I would buy anything "organic" from the supermarket in the US. I just don't believe the big corporations. At all.

But I'm a geneticist/biologist, not a nutritionist or pesticide chemist. There's no reason why my opinion is any better than anyone else's...I just know WAY too much about the way we eat and metabolize things. Which is usually a handicap more than anything else. :)
