Not necessarily less pesticides, but "natural" pesticides. In my opinion, organic food is probably either equivalent or better than not-organic, but I don't think there's much scientific consensus.

People tend to think "organic" means that a food item is free from the ills of industrial agriculture, but it really doesn't. It's the same thing with people directing hate at GMO's: most complaints people have about them are really complaints that apply to industrial ag whether GMO or not.
