This organic vs. synthetic is largely a media/propaganda driven misconception. What is important is caring for the plants and animals, and not abusing pesticides, fertilizers and medication. It's the same thing in herbal medicine and health food. Just because a product comes from a plant it isn't necessarily good for you or risk free. Aside from that, I feel "chemicals" in farming more often refer to fertilizers than pesticides, here in Sweden.
