Interesting, and I agree with part of it, but organic farming requires both more land and has lower yield than the "new" farming. I generally prefer organic food myself, but a compromise needs to be made to meet food demands of countries like India and China and a price range that would make the "factory" foods less attractive.
I am generally concerned with how low grade meet (which is also generally taken from tortured animals [subnote: I am not against meat eating since farming does not prevent the taking of life, even organic farming. I just want there to be some animal husbandry and quality of life control]) and processed sugars with the throw-away vegatables.. hence why lower income people are, ironically, more obesse (myself included).
I suppose my point is that its the right attitude, but simply buying organic food isn't really a fix.
It's a problem, indeed. I think perhaps the "all or none" approach really gets us in trouble. Some additives and techniques, etc., are worse than others. Some farming techniques are more destructive of the land than others. We probably need to look more closely at the consequences of each.
