Costco carries pallets full of organic sugar from Paraguay (!) and organic coffee.

Don’t tell me those commodities grown organically are “negligible” when they are available by the pallet at Costco.

Costco is big, and organic farming is definitely a selling point in certain markets. But commodity inorganic feedstocks are such an absolutely gigantic market it just dwarfs all of that. I just don't see organic farminc as having a negative impact on global inorganic farming - there's far too much of a profit motive supporting the inorganic side, and the scale of inorganic industrial farming is just too immense.

Now in the United States, it would surprised me if the liberals use organic farming to try to destroy any other kind of farming in our country. But all that will do is offshore everything and starve our farmers - which is exactly what liberals do to everything they touch.
