Organic Food Movement

Organic foods are proven to be healthier and better for you. They contain less of all the bad ingredients we all look out for on the back of our favorite junk foods, they are produced in more ethically sound ways, and they have less of an impact on the Earth. Yes, organic foods can cost more, and initially be less attractive to potential customers, however, as more information surfaces about the dangers of mass produced, chemically altered foods, more and more customers are being drawn to the labels that hint at "All Natural", or "Organic". Due to the increase in popularity of natural and organic foods, many farmers who previously did business with major brands such as Tyson and Perdue, are negating their contracts and making a move towards healthier, organic means of production in an attempt to increase revenue.
Unfortunately, due to the downturn of the economy, some of the farmers who have changed over to an organic platform, are now finding it difficult to remain above water due to the rising costs of resources and the decrease in demand for their more expensive products. The end result of these factors is that many of the farmers who have been in business for generations are being forced to close up their farms, or make radical lifestyle changes in order to keep from going bankrupt. Do you think that Organic foods are worth spending the extra money for? Will the industry remain sustainable?
