The important aspect is discrimination in tax: given the higher environmental costs from organic chicken farming, it is reasonable to refer to how they should face a higher tax than the non-organic farmer. There is a demand for organic produce but, given these pollution costs, the "I prefer organic, it tastes nicer" consumers should pay a higher price for that selfishness
