On the other hand, I would think that one of the reasons that modern organic products are so inexpensive is because of easy substitution with plentiful, non-organic alternatives. If food production were to become all-organic, I would think the resulting shrinking supply would make food much more expensive. I'm not an expert, but I would estimate that there's at least one order of magnitude difference in yield per acre between the much maligned "factory farming" and less dense production methods. If there is only one order of magnitude, that's the difference between almost everyone being able to afford meat, and almost nobody. The grandparent commenter fails to address possible reasonable objections to his strident opinion. I'm assuming it's easier to heap sarcasm upon an already disfavored group - big corporations - and reap the resulting karma.
