Best Organic Foods

I am interested in knowing which foods are best to get organic, and which don't matter so much. Everything I know I learned from google, so I tried to look up the answer on the web. The first site I found had this shocking statement:

"For some families, ketchup accounts for a large part of the household vegetable intake..."

What?

Here is what another site said about the best and worst NON-organic foods:

Twelve "cleanest non-organic foods"

• Asparagus

Tweleve RISKIEST foods
• Apples
• Bell Peppers
• Celery
