I didn't intend to imply I thought organic meant small scale farming or local. I only meant in the sense of herbacide/pesticide use. Superweeds etc...

If a person can do the 100 mile diet all the better, I don't think that is for me. If I see an option between local and CA or Mexico etc... I take local. That said, all farming has some kind of impact... I just think if you try and go organic, while you may not have the time to research every product you buy, overall you will be on the side of better for the environment.
I guess that absolute best is growing veggies it in your back yard... I'm not that guy though.
