I do not know who was testing what, but fact is, that there were hundreds of random tests, made by Greenpeace Europe in supermarkets and health food stores and groceries, where they tested what really is in the vegetables sold in the end.

Ands surprise, surprise: only the organic fruits and vegetables were more or less free of any metals or chemical substances - while the "standard" produce contained partially amounts which were directly dangerous to life, especially in young children (so several supermarkets got sued by Greenpeace right after the tests).

The amounts of "dangerous substances" which could be found in organic foods are constantly tested, not only by Greenpeace, but also by the organic monitoring organizations. There is 99% more chance to get sick from "usual" produce than from organic.

I am not rich myself, and I usually buy only animal derived products organic, in small amounts (meat, eggs, cheese). I can understand that some people get mad at the high prices, but spreading false rumors will not help anybody. Due to higher and higher demand some organic produce is sometimes sold already at the same price as the other or just slightly more pricey (apples, tomatoes, potatoes, onions, carrots). And, if you mistrust anybody and everybody, the best choice would be growing you own vegetables, or not?
