I think one of the problems is there is a huge misconception that 'organic' food does not use pesticides, letting people think they are avoiding nasty chemicals by eating organic. It's a shock to these people to find out that organic farms still use pesticides, they are just natural pesticides. Organic or not, you don't keep bugs away by asking them nicely. The main problem being it's very hard to enforce these natural pesticides people are coming up with because there are so many, and the long term studies have not been done yet. The SGU podcast mentioned a while back how there was a farm which was using some type of flower based pesticide in massive quantities on their farm, but over a period of a year the flowers began to rot and created a substance they was very poisonous, causing a lot of people to get sick. I actually stay away from organic food, I don't trust whatever they have come up with the keep bugs away.
