Bioaccumulation.
A lot of toxins are fat soluble, which means that the purity of the feed you feed your chicken is even more important than the purity of the produce that you feed yourself.

Those of you who are foregoing organic milk should think again. Milk and butter are probably the most important organic products to buy (aside from meat and eggs).
It's all about the fat! It has also been shown that the more fat you carry on your body, the higher your risk of cancer.
Edited to clarify that SOME PESTICIDES ARE FAT SOLUBLE and will therefore BIOACCUMULATE. To further clarify -- fat soluble toxins cannot be easily excreted from the body, like those that are water soluble
