There are numerous issues I have with "Organic" and "Natural" products :
1) They are marketed as being healthier for you. There is no evidence that this is the case.

2) Organic Food companies have played a big role in Science Misinformation regarding Pesticides and GMO's.
3) Organic Farming is less efficient than regular farming and actually is probably contributing more to climate change. An organic farm uses 33% more space than a regular farm does.

4) It perpetuates the Natural Fallacy that Natural things are better.
5) I personally find it disturbing that with big swaths of the Earth's population having food insecurity we sit over here in the West with multiple options of nutrient rich food. Instead of spending the extra 25-50% on Organic food that money would be much better served trying to develop farming practices in poor countries.
