Organic food has been demonstrated to be no better for you, no better for the environment (and likely worse) and it doesn't have the crop yields and costs to feed the world.
These days, especially in the US, the term organic doesn't really mean anything anyhow. It's all marketing used by large business to charge you more for essentially the same product while giving you a false sense of superiority over the unwashed masses.
Your health and environmental impact have nothing to do with whether the food is organic or not, rather it's whether you eat a burger or a salad.
For further discussion around organic food woo see the skeptics guide to the universe, they regularly debunk this stuff: http://www.theskepticsguide.org/ http://www.theskepticsguide.org/ (great podcast btw)
