> I suspect this is how we ended up with this wrapped organic vegetables heresy

It could be that things treated without pesticides might require more protection against things attacking them in transit? Who knows.

It would be quite concerning :-)

That would mean that we eat active pesticides when buying non organic food. Not that it would totally surprise me neither.

We do know that organic markets don't need the plastic though. But they might have shorter circuits as well (which is also a good thing).

Not necessarily. It could be microbes downstream of pests touching your crops that shorten the shelf life, for example.

It's a good thing if you have the time and money to buy things that are more expensive to produce.

Again with the money! We are looping here. I really don't know what you are trying to defend, but not the same thing as me for sure.

I think I will stop there, we are not having a constructive discussion. You are just opposing random stuff without answering key points.
