    Indeed. That's why I have to whenever organic food pushers start talking about it being so great because it's "sustainable". What does that even mean? Try growing enough organic food to support the world's population. See how "sustainable" that is.

    Organic food is just another marketing strategy for the well-off to feel better about themselves while taking their money.
