I mostly buy organic when I'm buying fruit for my son. I have a book that points out the fruits that have the most pesticide in them. (Bananas and avocados do not have much pesticides in the fruit themselves because of the skin--same with oranges.) So I get organic blueberries, strawberries, and nectarines. I have noticed that they taste a lot better. It's not about nutrition--it's my not wanting my son ingesting pesticides.
Meat? I don't like like organic chicken. I think it tastes gross. I do buy organic filet mignon at Whole Foods--it's fantastic.
Eggs? I now buy eggs that indicate that they are laid by hens who are free to roam. Whether that's true or not, I'm with Anima. My conscience feels better.
For fruit you should try pick your own places.
I got some strawberries a month or two back and they were delicious.
Organic can be hit or miss, as not all companies have to use farming procedures that you think are organic.
