I haven't read it all - so I can't really make a comment.

I haven't read the article, but I'm a fan of organic foods.

Unfortunately, I don't always buy them, but they taste better and emotionally I feel better when I feed my family a meal prepared with organic foods than non organic foods.

It was more of the same information. You could click on each fruit and veggie and read whether they recommend you buy organic or not. For example, buy organic apples & strawberries and don't bother with bananas & grapes. I do not buy organic apples because they are rotten before I get them eaten. I do buy organic applesauce.

This is pretty much the same info about the "dirty dozen" for fruits and veggies, right? I always buy organic apples and apple products since that is my kid's favorite fruit and they eat them constantly. I can usually get them on sale. I think they are ranked #2 for pesticides in the fruit. Bananas are way down at the bottom of the list, so I always get conventional (although bananas have recently really jumped up in price around here, so I've not been buying them at all).
