Sadly, Kraft is not really to blame that the general public demands these products.. If not Kraft, then Nabisco, or Pillsbury and an alphabet of non-decrepit corporate headings.. Hell, even health-food stores like Whole Foods sell junk foods prepared in these factories.
I must also mention that paying more for organic provides little proof that any of their products are any better for you than any other farm products, or that it is totally organic at all.. I suspect I will regret saying this to some of the devote that will take exception to my experience.. :)

You forget TV and print advertising which drives sales of junk food snacks. Nabisco, Coca Cola, and Kraft would not be spending tons of money if it didn't work

Organic is definitely better. I know this from experience growing and eating it. Well grown organic/biodynamic food will have superior mineral content. Are more solid, less bloated by irrigation water. Test this yourself by buying a supermarket whole chicken and one from a Whole Foods type store. Bring to a boil, then simmer the chicken for one hour.
But there are many grades of organic food. Example: The organic carrot from my local farm is better than the generic organic carrot from California that you can now find in supermarkets. Some locally grown food is well grown by conscientious farmers and as good as organic.
FWIW I am eating non organic vegetables these days due to circumstance. I am not a fanatic
