#4 When 1/3 of the world is starving I have no right to purchase foods that are produced by methods that reduce yields by as much as 2/3’s.

Buying organic increases starvation

Oh you certainly have the right to buy organic. Whether you have inclination is another matter.

“When 1/3 of the world is starving I have no right”

Stop right there. Yes, you do have the right.

First off, 1/3 of the world isn’t starving because of total production capacity is less than needed.

Second off, even if it were, you have every right to buy whatever someone else desires to produce.

That's not a very good argument.

We've shown the entire world how to produce more food than they can possibly eat, and they have rejected our ideas.

There is a price to pay for being stupid, and that price may very well be starvation.

That said, I avoid organic like the plague.

That's all we had growing up. Now, I want to eat good food.
