So I'd like to know, why is organic food so expensive? I know it'll be a number of reasons, but could organic food be pretty affordable if many more food companies jumped on board with it and made it more available?
Scale of production, more human labor, quality control, living wages - pick one or more. And yes, if larger scale operations committed to it, the price would be lower (but still higher than doing it the "crapfest way" ).
