Organic food?

[JesusHMuhammad]

First of all I resent my position being characterized as "argument from ignorance".

Secondly, "studies" underwritten, directly or indirectly, by the chemical industry should be viewed with some suspicion.
You may note that your position is the exactly the same as the defenders of
leaded gasoline when true scientific inquiry was being systematically suppressed by large petroleum.

In the case of cigarettes, they were marketed as having health benefits
BY doctors. And plenty of favorable "scientific" papers where
(and still are) being written by tobacco industry funded "scientists".

I will simply quote some sources you may have heard about

The EPA

"Laboratory studies show that pesticides can cause health problems,
such as birth defects, nerve damage, cancer, and other effects that
might occur over a long period of time."

The NIH National Institutes of Health
"Scientists do not yet have a clear understanding of the health effects
of these pesticide residues. Results from the Agricultural Health Study,
an ongoing study of pesticide exposures in farm families, show that
farmers who used agricultural insecticides experienced an increase in
headaches, fatigue, insomnia, dizziness, hand tremors, and other
neurological symptoms. Evidence suggests that children are particularly
susceptible to adverse effects from exposure to pesticides, including
neurodevelopmental effects."

I will eat my veggies from my local organic farmer, thank you. You are of course free to eat whatever you like. But, I will reserve the right to resent your accusations.
