Conventional produce is covered in a good deal of pesticides, the best way to remove them is peeling.

The link doesn't establish that pesticides are actually harmful, only that there's lots of them on conventional produce. However it is entertainingly written. :)
That's a shame, since the skin of fruit is often the best part - for flavor and health.
That's what I usually say, but I mostly say it tongue-in-cheek -- the main reason I don't peel my fruit is that I can't be bothered to.
Yeah, the nutritional profile of cucumbers or potatoes varies markedly by whether or not you consume them with skin intact...
