Thing is, it's more subtle than that. Unlike most of the vague or meaningless standards, care and production labelling and logos, Organic is a legally defined and enforced standard. It may be a weaker standard in the US compared to the EU, but it's a definite marker wherever you are. Most of the organic production results in far better animal treatment, and lower carbon methods than conventional agriculture, and tries to create processes that are sustainable. Unsurprisingly it's not perfect. If I want the most animal friendly meat rearing standards, the "most free range" free range eggs - with more space and better conditions than those labelled free range(!), most grass fed dairy cows, most sustainably produced veggies and so on, I should buy organically labelled. In the EU at least - there may be higher legally mandated standards of rearing elsewhere - though I think not. That's regardless whether or not I care about organic aims or dislike the rejection of GMO or some specific product or process. If I buy conventionally produced I am reliant on non-binding marketing phrases and trust of the producers. Of which I have little. Dismissing organic as illegitimate chemtrail bullshit that should be dismissed, when there is nothing better is incredibly counter productive. Far better to try and improve organic standards bodies to be a little less dogmatic about accepting new discoveries and processes that fit the sustainability aims, or to agitate for better mandated definitions, accepting GMOs on the precautionary principle of approval as the EU does for conventional use.
