Considering the companies most profiting off the "organic" trend are huge corporations pretending to be small farmer companies.

I have noticed a few of the small grass fed beef farms around Calgary specifically aren't organic. Their argument being that local sourcing is better than organic and that all of the hoops to jump through to ensure an organic product do nothing to improve the end product and just increase cost.
I agree that I do not buy organic, or even more laughable is the highly processed refined foods with an organic label slapped on them. What I do buy in terms of fresh produce is locally grown. Where the freshness of the product makes it taste better. Some of this happens to be organic, some of it mostly organic but not certified, and some conventional.
