The thing is, I read "Super Immunity" by Joel Fuhrman and I've been obsessed with following his recommendation of eating greens, onions, mushrooms, beans, berries and seeds every day. Whole Foods is the only place around here where I can get all of these grown organically.

Pesticides scare me. Especially since I can't be bothered to wash my food before eating it. But as I understand it, if you use pesticides, then the plants don't produce their own natural chemicals that fight off pests and other symbiotic organisms. I don't remember where I read it but according to my research those chemicals are very beneficial part of the total nutriment.
