I can’t claim any authority on the matter, I just studied enough to be convinced that it was just another lefty feel-good fad and lost interest there.
This looks like a decent place to start though, if you’re interested in learning more.

well think of it this way: what is more nutritional a loaf of sunbeam pure white bread or a loaf of bread made with whole grains?
did you know that many commercial chickens are often fed a meal of ground up chicken feathers? Its information like this that makes consumers want to buy organic grain fed chicken. i don’t think its just a lefty thing although they sometimes take it too far by saying no one can raise chickens in a way that makes the chickens unhappy which is irritating.
also the mad cow disease (BSE) was caused by farmers feeding cows the remains of other cows.
I do believe that some foods are healthier than others and organic stores emphasize these choices more than regular stores do. so its a bandwagon i think has some value.
