Yes, this was my reaction as well.  I know Paul enjoys playing the roll of 
curmudgeon to pet liberal scientific themes, but I think he missed the mark on

  For what it's worth, the research as reported in the article seems incredibly 
naive. By focusing exclusively on nutrients, it ignores the primary motivation 
for preferring organic foods, i.e., avoiding chemical contamination by 
non-organic pesticides, herbicides and colorings.
