Organic food has fewer pesticides, as this article reluctantly admits. There's not enough oversight from the government as to the health of these, so for some set of vegetables/fruit where the additives cannot just be rinsed off it makes sense to buy organic.

Quite so. The article states "no robust evidence for organics being more nutritious" but that isn't really the argument many have for eating organic veg. It's the pesticides that the non-organic vegetables have been soaked in that are potentially dangerous to our health.
