Yes. Well, as soon as there's a tax on non-organic beef, pork and lamb to make up for their higher impact to global warming, we can talk. Better yet, why don't you just figure out the increased impact on global warming from organic chickens, convert it to dollar amount, and I'll mail it to some global warming activist group. I imagine it might be somewhere around $.00001 a bird.

Land use is already passed on to the end purchaser. What other cost does there need to be?

Again. I don't care what you eat.
