Only eat organic? You're paying too much, and it's not worth it (2021)

Why does everyone think organic is an outlier, niche kind of choice that is done by some isolated, moral farmer in a distant idyllic village? It is as mainstream and commercialized as the alternatives. In fact, nothing separates it from every single purchase where people pay more hoping it makes you feel better and gives your better results.
You'd rather run a crowdfund to lobby for everyone so that chemicals are more regulated in all of agriculture. That way, everyone gets a better baseline, which raises the standards for what is termed as 'organic'.
