That’s a strawman’s argument though. You can produce healthy kefir and cabbage at scale, which is healthier than any organic craft soda.

The reality is that free range animals take up an incredible amount of resources for a small percentage of the population who can afford such luxury.

Of course you can produce healthy kefir and cabbage at scale, just as you can organic produce.

But you can’t produce as much as Coca Cola and non-organic.

Which is why I’m specifically refuting

> organic crops use more land, more water, and produce less for sale

Because it’s still true that no matter how much scale your Kefir has, those properties apply to it more than Coke.

So let’s not talk about purely that you can make more non-organic, but about the tradeoff and what get from organic when you’re not making quite as much.
