Once upon a time, life expectancy was less than half of what it is now. Previously unimaginable prosperity permits the luxury of pretending organic food is more healthful because it is organic.
The greatest cause of death from nonorganic food is going to occur in say Lagos Nigeria or maybe Mexico City where the onset of a serious contagion wipes out millions of people living well on non organic food.
An interesting intellectual exercise is guessing what third world country with a Deca million population city will be the one
Goodness Bert, are you pretending that the conventional practices of disposing of municipal sludge for use as fertilizer is without any risk! Thanks, I prefer organic regenerative farming whenever possible.

You might be shocked to learn just how common this risky practice is. The government has promoted spreading sewage sludge on agricultural fields as fertilizer since the 1990s as a disposal method (ref).
In 2018 alone, over 2 million dry tons of sludge were dumped on 46 million acres, which is 20% of all U.S. farmland (ref).
Nearly half of the sewage sludge generated in the country ends up on fields, with the rest used in landscaping, on golf courses, in forests, and even abandoned mines.
Sewage sludge poses serious health risks to people and animals alike:
Hundreds have fallen ill after exposure, suffering respiratory distress, headaches, nausea, rashes, and even tumors.
Heavy metals increase cancer risks (ref) and cause high blood pressure, anemia, and lung issues when inhaled or ingested.
PFAS build up in the body over time, linked to cancer, birth defects, and other health problems.
Sludge contains nasty pathogens like bacteria, viruses, and parasites that make people and animals sick.
Contaminated sludge has sickened and killed livestock on farms where it was applied.
