I have no doubt about the marketing and selling of it, that is obvious. I also do not doubt large companies are raising large quantities of animals organically. Where it falls apart is that there is no way to do it without depleting the soil. Those chickens are raised on corn, and that corn must be organic. The only way that corn can be raised sustainably is of nothing leaves the land. But then the corn leaves, so how is that replaced? You say chicken manure, but that is only a portion of what is taken off because the eggs and animals never return to the corn farm. So how is that loss recovered? In most cases it's not, so the land is being depleted and so organic farming is not sustainable long term.
The second issue I have with it is that no one has been able to show any scientific proof that it is better. There is lots if evidence that it is inferior tho.
So once someone shows me a sustainable way to do it and shows me proof that it is at least as good as conventional I'll whole heartedly jump on the wagon. Until then I'll remain a doubter and keep asking the questions no one can answer.
