For fruits/pesticide EWG puts out a list every year called the Dirty Dozen, the fruits/veggies with the most pesticides which you should only buy organic, and a list called the Clean 15 that are clean enough you don't need organic. I guess there's some contraoversy over it, I dont know who's right but if you skim these links you can get an idea who the critics are.

Salt is the way to clean meat and fish even if it isn't old: rinse, salt, rub it around, rinse again and dry with paper towels. I've heard a lot of differnct reasons for it. some say there can be ground bones on the outside of the meat from butchering it, some say people can handle it with dirty hands or drop it, some say the outside gets oxidized so that's where it tends to go bad first, some say if there's something bad growing in the meat it makes it's way to the surface sometimes. Indians I read (the country) rinse their meat with hot water.
