There is a huge hole in your theory regarding “organic” vs treated fruit:

The vast majority of “organic” farms are surrounded by other, normal farms. While the “organic” farmer doesn’t spray his crops, he benefits from all his neighbors doing so, while he can claim saintliness.

“Organic” means more money than brains. YMMV.

....except that to be certified Organic, there are a series of tests that have to be undertaken on, inter alia, soil. So when Monsanto's hybrid seeds or the neighborhood agribusiness' use of Round-Up violates the organic farmer's property rights without compensation, the Organic farmer has to remediate that situation on his own dime to get the Organic cert.
