Please, a lot of things like hormone and antibiotics fed vs non of that are not a gimmick, maybe just say you are reserved on the health benefits. Sure it's not specific to organic, but at least in Europe a big part of the specifications are meaningful. I understand a certain lifestyle is annoying for some people and that a lot of bullshit is sold in organic stores (homeopathy, ...) and that not everything is healthy because it's "ancient and natural" but let's not confuse everything.

Worrying about hormones and antibiotics in meat and dairy while being concerned about health makes as much sense as worrying about the effects of filters in cigarettes while looking to avoid lung cancer. Animal products are unhealthy, and inhumane.

  You can worry about the presence of these additives and drugs in plants and plant-based dishes that you eat. This is not even remotely connected to vegan / non-vegan products.

Animal antibiotics and hormones are not applied to plants. Plants are not susceptible to diseases that can be transferred to humans. The pesticides that are sprayed on plants are entirely different chemicals. Plants have the least problems with heavy metal and toxin bioaccumulation because they are at the bottom of the food chain. The risks for contamination of animal and animal product foods are orders of magnitude greater than for plant based food. But all that ignores the fact that meat and dairy are inherently unhealthy for humans - they are carcinogenic and cause heart disease.
