Dan — yes, they do touch upon this in the movie. A big reason that conventional foods are cheaper is because they are government supported, and we pay for them through our tax dollars. The hope is that the cost of organic foods will drop as demand increases and more farmers get involved! So the goal now is to make organic the buyer’s choice, so the “powers that be” have no choice but to support organic food production.

Pretty interesting stuff. Any info out there on the cost of organic vs. non-organic? That seems to be the biggest complaint from people. Maybe it’s a topic for another post.

Thank you for writing about this. I hope this movie helps people see what their part is in changing the food safety standards in our country.
