Where do you see moral virtue from eating organic food? None. It's simply better for you health wise. Thats a matter of consumer choice. Non-rational consumer choice imo. I used to eat hamburgers from McDonald's, Burger King ect until I learned how their hamburger is processed. Now I wouldn't touch it with a ten foot pole. How would you like to eat meat from over 100 animals in one burger? Talk about cross contamination! In fact virtually all of hamburger that is prepackaged comes this way to the grocery store today. When I was in grade school my mom would go to the butcher and she would pick out some meat from one animal that he would grind up just the way she wanted. One animal... no cross contamination possible. Before he ground it he would clean the equipment right in front of us. If you look at all of the meat recalls in the U.S. it should shock you. If non-organic food is bad to eat, how about non-organic cotton or wool from sheep not fed organic food? That ought to be bad too. And of course, synthetic fibers would all be "Frankenfibers" and also bad. Ditto plastics. I suggest you check out the documentary "Food Inc". It was nominated for an Oscar at this years Academy Awards. Check out how food processors handle meat nowadays, especially the process of making hamburgers. You would throw up if you saw it. Your McDonald's hamburger patty has more than just meat in it.
