Does anybody know about the opposite list, the list of foods that are relatively low in absorbed pesticides?

Well, in the same article they write that things with thick skins or husks that are removed before eating don't absorb as many pesticides. Examples include: avocados, bananas, corn, mangos and oranges.
They also note that small farmers who might sell produce at farmers' markets are good organic buys. A lot of these farms are too small to afford to get the official organic certification even though they grow with the same organic techniques.
"Organic" isn't just about pesticides though. Products with organic certification are not allowed to use trans fats -- that's a huge benefit.
